Roman Black Burnished Chatter Ware Jar

Details
We have decorated this rather elegant jar in the chatterware or rouletted style. So named because the decoration is applied once the pot has dried somewhat, it is placed back on the wheel, and a tool is bounced or chattered over the surface to create these distinctive markings.
This style of jar would have been used for storage in a Roman kitchen, and although not considered high status at the time, it would have added a touch of class to any home. The Romans really did know a thing or two about beautiful objects.
Production
This replica Roman pot was hand-made in Northumberland by Potted History, based on an original artefact. It has been wood-fired in an authentic replica of a Roman Pottery Kiln at Vindolanda Museum to a temperature of between 800 & 1000 Centigrade, using the same techniques the original potters would have employed nearly two thousand years ago. This process often results in surface colour and texture variations, emulating original Roman pottery and giving each pot its unique character.
Materials
Terracotta clay , fired under reduction conditions
Dimensions
Approx. 230 mm tall, 145 mm diameter
Health and Safety
As with all of our museum-quality replicas, this piece has been fired to achieve an authentic finish. Like the original, it is unglazed and has no modern finishes applied. As a result, this pot does not meet modern health and safety standards, and although decorative, we recommend that you refrain from using this pot should not be used for its original purpose.
