Title
Roman feeding cup
Description
English: A largely complete Roman ceramic vessel.

The vessel is of flattened-subglobular form, with a flat base and a straight rim with angled inner surface. A circular-sectioned spout (probably foreshortened) angles upwards from a short distance below the rim. The fabric is yellowish-grey and heavily sand tempered. There is a small amount of damage to the body of the vessel. A mussel shell which survives within the pot is likely to be the result of the depositional conditions - the object was recovered from material dredged from the river Ouse - rather than being a Roman insertion. Off-white concretions adhere to the inner surface of the rim of the vessel; these may also be the result of its depositional circumstances.

Height: 80.3mm; maximum width (including spout): 95.6mm; diameter of base: 40.5mm. Weight: 154.63g.

Liz Pieksma (pers. comm.) identifies this vessel as an infant's feeding cup and suggests a date of late 1st century AD, based on its similarity to pottery found in excavations at nearby Ursula Taylor School, Clapham, Bedfordshire (Dawson 1988).
