Details

This a replica of a Judean Roman Cup decorated with incised patterning.

We first made replicas of this cup as part of a project for the Detectorist Christmas special that first aired on BBC Two.  To learn a little more about the project and the making process, you can read our short blog, where we explain why you might see fingerprints on your Holy Grail.  Read it here.

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 of over 1000 Centigrade to emulate 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, emulating original Roman Pottery and giving each pot its unique character.  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 use, adding to the flavour of future beverages.  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.  When the Romans cleaned these pots, they relied on applying sufficient heat to the pot to ensure that all bacteria were 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.
