Roman Samian Cup, Dr33
Handcrafted Replica Roman Samian Ware Wine Cup – Inspired by Dragendorff 33
Details
Cheers! 🍷 Romans across the Empire would have used charming little wine cups like these to enjoy their favourite tipple. This cup is a replica of a Dragendorff 33 form, a classic style of Samian Ware—we know you love a bit of archaeological detail!
Originally produced in Gaul, Samian Ware was highly prized for its fine red illite clay, which created smooth, elegant tableware. These vessels were exported across all corners of the Roman Empire, making them a definitive symbol of Roman dining culture.
Materials
- Terracotta with a red slip finish
Dimensions
- Approx. 65 mm high, 105 mm diameter
Production
This museum-quality replica has been handcrafted in Northumberland by Potted History, faithfully reproducing the craftsmanship of the original artefact. Each cup has been fired at temperatures between 800°C and 1000°C, closely mimicking Roman production techniques.
This traditional firing process naturally results in variations in surface colour and texture, ensuring that each piece is unique—just like the originals.
Health & Safety
This museum-quality replica has been made using the tools and techniques of ancient Roman potters. As an unglazed and porous vessel, it will absorb liquids and flavours over time, much like the original Samian Ware.
- Not food safe: Due to its porous nature, this vessel does not meet modern health and safety standards for food use.
- For display and experimental archaeology purposes only: While some enthusiasts use these replicas for experimental archaeology, doing so is at your own risk.
- The Romans ensured food safety by heating their pots and contents to over 70°C for at least 10 minutes to kill bacteria, with 100°C or higher offering additional protection.
