Description: | Complete foot ring from a Roman Samian ware vessel. This bright red pottery was imported into Britain during the Roman period. It was mass produced in the region that is now the border between modern France and Germany. The foot ring is a low pedestal type ring formed on the base of a vessel to enable it to stand more securely. Foot rings were often found on bowls and some beakers. The piece has a small amount of the upper body of the vessel remaining around the foot ring and at the centre on the inside there is a grooved ring with a makers stamp at the centre; this gives the name of the potter who produced the vessel; this stamp reads PATRICI (it is stamped backwards on the pot). The piece weighs 43g and measures 57.9mm in length, 52.9mm in width and 19.8mm in thickness. The foot ring measures 53.02mm in diameter
