ROMAN POTTERY FOUND IN BRITAIN. 
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATES. 
The illustrated examples are arranged on the plates in the 
following order :— 
2. —Plain Clay Bodied Vessels. 
(a) White clay vessels of fine texture. 
(Clay-colours never occur in quite pure or uniform shades, so 
that ‘ white ’ includes creamy white, light brown and other pale 
clays, in contrast to natural reds and fumed grey to black wares of 
various shades. The aim seems to have been, in many instances, 
to make the vessels appear white by dipping them in white slip 
before baking.)
