Description: | A base sherd from an Oxfordshire red/brown-slipped ware bowl.Part of the base ring survives, above which the base slopes gently upwards. The wall of the vessel is near-vertical. The fabric is micaceous, with occasional larger inclusions (possibly ironstone), is light pinkish-orange in colour and has a light grey core. Traces of the orange slip survive and there is a line of white paint at the base of the wall. The edges of the sherd are slightly abraded.Length: 66mm; width: 51.5mm; height: 26.2mm; approximate diameter of foot ring: 48mm. Weight: 30.19g.A range of bowls with similar profiles, albeit larger than this piece, are illustrated by Paul Tyers (1996: 177). Tyers states, 'Production of red-slipped wares commences by c. AD 240 and continues until the end of the 4th cent.' (ibid: 178).
