Ring Necked Flagon Second

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 into 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. 280 mm tall, diameter 155 mm 

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.

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.
