Description: | Base from a Roman Nene Valley ware beaker. The base iself is small (as is characteristic on vessels of this type), tapering inwards slightly above and then abruptly outwards to form the body of the vessel. A small portion of this remains in situ, but the majority is now missing. The fabric is hard and fine in texture and light grey-brown in colour. It is coated in a dark brown-black slip. Wipe marks may be seen in the slip on the bottom of the base. The fabric is tempered with abundant fine quartz sand and small dark black and brown flecks. This ware was widely distributed across Britain during the 2nd to 4th centuries AD
Length: 41.43mm, Diameter of base: 27.67mm
