Details
Flagons such as this would have been an everyday object in houses across the Roman Empire, as they would have been invaluable for collecting and storing everyday essentials. If you were popping to your local beer, wine or olive oil seller, you would be expected to bring a flagon such as this to collect your precious purchase, which would have been carefully decanted from a large amphora into your flagon.
Materials
Earthen ware clay
Dimensions
Approx. 270 mm tall, diameter 155 mm
Production
This replica Roman pot has been hand made in Northumberland by Potted History, inspired by original artefacts. It has been wood fired in an authentic replica of a Roman Pottery Kiln at Vindolanda Museum, to a temperature of between 800°C & 1000°C, using the same techniques that the original potters would have employed nearly two thousand years ago. This process often results in variations of the surface colour and texture. When ordering you may not get the exact cup photographed and the colouring may vary slightly.
Health and Safety
This is a Museum Quality Replica made using the tools and techniques that would have been used during the Roman era. As this is an unglazed pot with a porous surface it will absorb some of the flavours during the cooking process, which does add to the flavour of future dishes. However, it does also mean that this pot does not meet modern Health and Safety standards and therefore we do not advise that it is used for cooking with or storing food in. When the Romans cooked in these pots they would rely on applying sufficient heat to the pot and contents to ensure that all bacteria was killed. Heating to over 70°C for at least 10 minutes would have killed most disease causing bacteria and temperatures of 100°C would do even more.
