Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Warwickshire

In profile, the rim is 'n-' shaped rim and is quite wide, tapers in towards the wall of the vessel. The exterior surface beneath the rim has a slightly curved indentation, which implies the rim may have originally flared outwards at an oblique angle.
The date is uncertain, most likely roman to Medieval periods.
