This replica Roman pot has been hand made in Northumberland by Potted History, inspired by original artefacts. It has been wood-fired to a temperature of between 800°C & 1000°C, using the same techniques that the original potters would have employed nearly two thousand years ago. This process often results in variations of the surface colour and texture, emulating original Roman Pottery and giving each pot its unique character. Although Jews and Quakers were exempt from the 1753 Act, it required religious non-conformists and Catholics to be married in Anglican churches.

This is a Museum Quality Replica made using the tools and techniques that would have been used during the Roman era. As this is an unglazed pot with a porous surface it will absorb some of the flavours of the food being stored, which does add to the flavour of future dishes. However, it does also mean that this pot does not meet modern Health and Safety standards and therefore we do not advise that it is used for storing food. When the Romans used these storage jars they would rely on applying sufficient heat to the cooking pot and its contents to ensure that all bacteria was killed. Heating to over 70 °C for at least 10 minutes would have killed most disease causing bacteria and temperatures of 100°C would do even more. This replica has been handmade and smoke-fired, just as the original ceramic figures from the palaeolithic period, such as the Dolni Vestonice, would have been. It gives them a variegated finish that ensures no two figures are exactly alike.

Moving forward now to 1443-1550 the towns name starts to take on its more familiar look and is denoted as Counsett, Conset, Consyd, Consed and Cowside all of which appear in the Wills & Inventories of the Surtees Society Volumes 34 & 35.

There were many running battles throughout the years, some very famous like the Battle of the Blue Heaps, some not so. colonies. The ex-colonies formed the British Commonwealth, now the Commonwealth of Nations of 53 states.

As with all my Museum Quality Replicas, we have made this pot, as the original would have been, entirely by hand from natural clay and using replicas of the types of tool that the ancient makers would have used. As each pot varies, you may not receive the same cup in the image, but you can be sure that your pot will be one of a kind due to the variations caused by the firing process.If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information.

I make accurate replicas of ancient pots, specialising in: British Prehistoric, Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age; Roman and Anglo Saxon. These go to Museums, Universities and Collectors worldwide. I also make props for TV and Film. Using extensive research and over thirty years of potting experience, combined with; careful selection of materials, purpose made tools and the recreation of ancient firing conditions, result in pots which are as close to the originals as possible. Consett, the town we know today, has only been in existence since the early 1840s and the foundation of the Consett Iron Company. Prior to that, it was a couple of hamlet-like communities dotted between the Stanefordham Inn and the end of what is now Sherburn Terrace.The Second World War 1939-1945 was fought between the Allied Powers (Britain, France, Russia, China, the USA) and the Axis Powers (Germany, Italy,
