Description: | Roman drinking cup made near Peterborough (Nene Valley ware). As can be seen from the chips and cracks, the clay from which the cup is made is white in colour. It has been covered by a deliberate coating, called a slip, so that when new it would have looked black all over. Sometimes the finger-prints of the Roman potters are visible round the base where they have dipped the cup in a container of the slip (third century, Segedunum Roman Fort).
