Description:Samian pottery is the most recognisable and common Roman pottery in Britain. The Romans used this type of pottery for displaying and serving food. By using a mould they were able to produce floral or figurative designs. Samian pottery was first produced in north Italy in 1st Century BC and by 43 AD Gaul (France) was the principal manufacturer of the pottery for nearly two centuries. By 260 AD Gallic production of samian pottery had ended, instead other industries continued to make similar pottery but of inferior quality until around 400 AD. This bowl was found at Chesterton and reconstructed from broken fragments and was donated between 1950-1990.
