Dish

English Heritage
United Kingdom
This Samian dish has barbotine decoration on the rim which was piped on before firing. It is a form which was in use from the AD 70s throughout the 2nd century so is difficult to date it any more closely. These dishes are not a common find in the north of Britain.
