ROMAN POTTERY FOUND IN BRITAIN. 
25 
Plate XIX. 
12. Side Fragment of a Wide-mouthed, Shallow Basin or 
Tureen, with two upright two-ribbed loop handles. The 
lower portion and base are strongly outbulged (foot wanting). 
Hard pipe-clay paste, smooth polished externally. Greatest diam. 8Jins. 
The form is an unusual one, for which no parallel has been 
traced. 
13. Side Fragment of Bowl, in imitation of the terra sigillata 
bowl, form 37, Drag, (drawing restored), one of several 
such fragments. 
Fine hard light-red terra cotta with matt surface. 
Beaded lip, round the body a sunk band g in. wide, 3 in. wide zone of 
roulette hatching, bordered below by two girth-grooves. Plain well turned 
foot-ring, slightly outset. Height 34 ins., original diam. of rim y§ ins. 
Walters, Cat. M2729, Fig. 277, included among II.-III. Century 
wares. 
Curie, Newstead. p. 257, XLVII., type 44, a.d. 140—180. 
The type is also met with in the castella of the German limes, 
No. 8, Zugmantel , plate XVIII., 13, a.d. 117—249, and in those of 
the Limes Rliaetice , No. 66a, Uvspving ., V. 47, ad. 90—160 ; No. 66c 
Faimiugen, XII., 12, a.d. ioo— 240; and No. 73, Pfiinz, VII., 11— 
13, a.d. 98—233. These are probably local imitations of a late 
terra sigillata bowl of poor paste similarly ornamented. 
14. Rim Fragment of Wide Shallow Bowl, with nearly upright 
collar, in shape resembling a mortarium, but with no stone 
particles visible on the interior. 
Hard light-buff clay (stone colour ?) Including a slightly projecting rim on 
the inside edge, the collar is ij in. wide and about Jin. thick, and has incised 
grooves round the outside edges. A depression § in. wide and J in. deep is cut 
across for a spout, which has lips like a double door wide open on either side. 
The name of the potter MARTINVS is stamped vertically on both sides of 
the spout. Diam. at top of collar 8| ins. 
The Colchester Museum contains two bowls of similar shape, 
not studded with stone particles on the inside, and a quantity of 
fragments of others found in the kilns at Lexden Road, near 
Colchester, one of which fragments is stamped with the name of 
the potter MARTINVS. These are said to be principally of 
local make, and the potter named probably worked in this locality.
