Handcrafted Replica Roman Flagon – Everyday Storage in the Ancient World

Details

Flagons like this were everyday objects in homes across the Roman Empire, used to collect and store essential goods.

If you were visiting your local beer, wine, or olive oil seller, you would be expected to bring a flagon like this to collect your purchase, which would have been carefully decanted from a large amphora.

Materials

Earthenware clay, reduction fired

Dimensions

Height: Approx. 250 mm
Diameter: Approx. 140 mm

Production

This museum-quality replica has been entirely handmade in Northumberland by Potted History, inspired by original Roman artefacts.

  • Handcrafted using traditional techniques
  • Wood-fired between 800°C - 1,000°C, replicating authentic Roman methods
  • Each piece is unique, with natural variations in surface colour and texture, just as seen in original Roman pottery

Health & Safety

This museum-quality replica was made using authentic Roman-era tools and techniques.

  • This is an unglazed pot with a porous surface, meaning it will absorb some of the flavours of any liquids or food stored inside, enhancing future contents.
  • However, this also means that the pot does not meet modern food safety standards, so we do not advise using it for storing food or drink.
  • In ancient times, Romans relied on high cooking temperatures to eliminate bacteria in their pottery.
    • Heating to over 70°C for at least 10 minutes would have killed most harmful bacteria.
    • Boiling at 100°C would have been even more effective.
  • If you choose to use this item for Experimental Archaeology, you do so at your own risk.
