14. Long-oval Beaker, in form resembling the elongated wooden 
cask known as a “wine-pipe,” being nearly the same at 
both ends and bulged slightly in the middle. Wide straight 
rim obliquely inclined and weakly moulded. Foot obliquely 
expanded. A rough band defined by pairs of grooves and 
scored by latticed lines, with four or five roulette-notched 
rows above and below respectively, round the bulge, show 
that the vessel was made to be lifted with the fingers of one 
hand, and to hold a liberal allowance of weak liquor such 
as beer or wine. 
Fumed dirty-grey clay, black coated and polished on the rim and shoulder 
to prevent the clay from adhering to the lips, and for cleanliness. 
Height 71 ins., diams. of rim 4 ins., bulge 4^ ins., base 3^ ins. 
Proportions, 50 : 63 : 50. 
The type is represented among those from the Upchurch marshes 
in Rochester Museum, and is a developed form of Belgic Schlauch- 
gefdsse (swill-pot), from the early camp at Haltern (b.c. ii—a.d. 9). 
Loeschcke, Haltern, V., p. 281, XXIV., 15. It is recorded among 
the Belgic and allied wares from the Rhaetian fort on the Upper 
Danube at Faimingen, where a number of La Tene survivals have 
been found, (Drexel Faimingen, XI., 19), dating from the end of 
the I. or early II. Century. 
Examples of a closely allied type in Colchester Museum, derived 
from the kilns uncovered on the north of Lexden Road, near 
Colchester, are figured by C. Roach Smith in Collectanea Antiqua, 
vol. VII., plate V., 1, 6. Others in Trier Provincial Museum of 
the earliest type in terra nigra, are derived from kilns discovered in 
the vicinity, where they were manufactured.
