Handcrafted Replica Wanlip Anglo-Saxon Bowl

Details

This beautiful Anglo-Saxon bowl is a replica of an original artefact unearthed in Wanlip, Leicestershire, during school construction between 1958 and 1960.

The site, often referred to as Bristol, has sparked debate among archaeologists—some believe it was a settlement site, while others argue that it was an inhumation cemetery. What is certain is that the site yielded stunning Anglo-Saxon artefacts, including weapons, jewellery, horse bridles, and pottery, all of which had remained buried for centuries.

This small decorative bowl or urn is dated to the first half of the 6th century and holds particular significance. The stamp used to decorate it has also been identified on a vessel found at an Anglo-Saxon cremation cemetery in Thurmaston, Leicestershire. This remarkable link demonstrates that Anglo-Saxon potters served a broad community, producing distinctive and carefully crafted wares that were widely appreciated.

Materials

  • Earthenware, reduction fired

Dimensions

  • Height: Approx. 80 mm
  • Diameter: Approx. 95 mm

Production

This bowl has been handcrafted in our Northumberland studio, following authentic historical techniques to ensure an accurate and high-quality replica.

  • Each piece is individually made, using tools and methods that replicate those of Anglo-Saxon potters.
  • The reduction firing process creates unique variations in surface colour and texture, just like the original artefact.
  • As with all handcrafted pottery, each bowl is one of a kind, making yours truly unique.
