Details
Roman drinking beaker.
Slight seconds mean the item has some minor defects, such as cracking or staining, but the item is otherwise fine. These beakers were slightly overfired, resulting in the kiln's heat melting the slip more than was desired, and the beakers stuck to the kiln shelf, resulting in some plucking at the bases. Please see the images. Please be aware that you will get one of the beakers, which will be randomly selected.
Materials
Earthenware, terracotta with Barbotine slip finish
Dimensions
Approx. 130 mm tall, 75 mm diameter
Production
This replica Roman pot has been hand-made in Northumberland by Potted History, based on an original artefact. It has been fired to a temperature between 800 & 1000 Centigrade to emulate the same techniques the original potters would have employed nearly two thousand years ago. This process often results in surface colour and texture variations, as is common with the original Roman pottery and gives each piece 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.
