Italian term or phrase: decorato ad impressione
This is from an article on funeral rites and grave goods.

Nella cassetta, assieme al vaso ossuario con coperchio (1), era stato collocato un servizio da tavola in ceramica, a differenza delle altre sepolture di questa necropoli (tombe nn. 1, 3, 4) in cui si riscontrano pregiati esemplari in vetro.
Qui il set da mensa è costituito da due olpi (2), una patera a vernice nera (3), un bicchiere ***decorato ad impressione*** (4) e una coppetta in terra sigillata (5).

Is this 'embossed'? TIA for any help.
