Step into the Elegance of a Roman Banquet

Materials & Dimensions

• Material: Earthenware clay
• Height: Approx. 85 mm
• Diameter: Approx. 100 mm

Production

Each cup is handmade in Northumberland by Potted History, using techniques inspired by original Roman artefacts.

• Fired at 800°C–1000°C to replicate authentic Roman firing conditions.
• The surface colour and texture may vary, reflecting the natural variations seen in historic pottery.
• When ordering, you may not receive the exact cup photographed—each piece is one-of-a-kind due to the hand-decorating process.

Health & Safety

This is a Museum Quality Replica, made using the tools and techniques of the Roman era.

• Not food safe: As an unglazed, porous vessel, this cup does not meet modern health and safety standards for food use.
• For decorative and educational purposes only—it is ideal for historical displays, experimental archaeology, and collectors of Roman artefacts.
• The porous surface absorbs liquids and flavours, as did the original Roman vessels.
