ROMAN POTTERY FOUND IN BRITAIN. 41 
Such utensils are not numerous. The following have been 
recorded in this conntry :— 
Pvoc. Soc. Antiq ., London, 2 Ser., XVI., p. 172-3, found in 
Northants. 
Colchester Museum, Jarmin Collection, example in grey clay, 
and Joslin Collection, No. 819, base in white clay. 
Peterborough Mus. of Nat. Hist, from Castor. 
Bruton, Melandva , II. Report, 1909, p. 32-3, Fig. 1. 
Plate XXIII. 
21. Triple Vase, consisting of three small pots, with beaded rim 
and contracted base, having internal communication at 
the widest part by small holes pierced through the sides 
and ligatures by which they are triangularly conjoined. 
(Imperfect). 
Fumed dark-grey (unglazed) clay. 
22. Another example is of coarse, soft, red clay, and consists of 
three smaller pots similarly conjoined. 
The pots in another imperfect example, not illustrated, are 
larger and joined by means of a triangular slab of clay, pierced 
with communicating holes. 
Many examples of difterent types are recorded, going back to 
the period of the lake dwellings (Munro, Lake Dvuellings of Europe , 
p. 43, Fig. 9, No. 23, Lake Dwelling of Auvernier, Lake Neu- 
chatel). 
The discovery in Wales of a mediaeval “ fuddling-cup," consist¬ 
ing of six small pots, similarly arranged, and communicating by 
holes in the sides, so that he who tries to drink one must drink all, 
has led to the suggestion that the triple vases in question were 
similarly employed. The latter are usually described as flower 
vases. 
23-6. Feeding Bottles for Children (tettines). 
Two of those represented, Nos. 23, 24, plate XXII., are of 
ordinary fumed clay; the fourth, No. 26, is of similar ware, coated 
with a darker slip ; No. 25, of white pipe-clay. 
They take after the other drinking vessels of the period to which 
they belong. No. 24 is probably the earliest in possessing the 
inclination to width' oblique lip, moulded foot and broad basis of 
late I. or early II. Centur)^ beakers.
