Complete, wheel-thrown, Roman vessel dating 42-410AD. The small jar is a closed form with a simple rim and is made from a buff or pale orange coloured, micaceous fabric which has been covered with a thin red slip on the internal and external surfaces. Possibly an example of Cheshire Plains ware (Webster 1991). The base of the vessel is flat and has distinctive wire marks where a wire, or cord has been used to remove the vessel from the wheel. The vessel is undecorated. The scratches on the inside of the vessel are almost certainly the result of the vessel having been cleaned. …
