Iron Age Pedestal Urn
Handcrafted Iron Age Painted Pot – Inspired by the Prunay Vase
Details
These beautiful, wheel-thrown vessels are inspired by originals produced in Iron Age Gaul (modern-day France) around 400 BC. While many of these pots were plain, some examples—such as the Prunay Vase from the La Tène I culture, now in the British Museum—featured painted swirling designs on their burnished surfaces.
These vessels are known for their high burnished shine and gracefully curvaceous shape, resulting in a look that is both ancient and strikingly modern in its aesthetic.
Materials
Earthenware, terracotta with reduction-fired burnished finish
Dimensions
Height: Approx. 300 mm
Diameter: Approx. 195 mm
Production
Each piece is handcrafted in Northumberland by Potted History, based on Iron Age artefacts. It has been wood-fired using methods to accurately replicate the conditions of the original Iron Age firing, creating an authentic look and feel. This process results in natural variations in surface colour and texture, giving every piece its own unique character.
Please note: Each pot is one of a kind. You may not receive the exact piece shown in the photos, and colouration may vary.
Health & Safety
Museum-Quality Replica: Made using authentic Roman tools and techniques.
Not food safe: This piece is unglazed and porous, meaning it absorbs liquids and does not meet modern health and safety standards for food use.
For display purposes only: While some enthusiasts use replicas for experimental archaeology, doing so is at your own risk.
Ancient users ensured food safety by heating their pots and contents above 70°C for at least 10 minutes to kill bacteria, with 100°C or higher offering additional protection.
