Grey ware with black slip. Raised cordon below neck, with barbotine decoration of white dots which were probably originally arranged in rectangles, but many of them have peeled off. One of the class of "poppy-head" beakers. This type lasted longer than the majority of the barbotine-decorated wares which do not seem to outlast the first half of the second century, and is found in Antonine deposits (e.g. Richborough, i, p.98, 54). See also Wroxeter, ii, pp. 49-50, and Pl. XV, 11, 13. There are also fragments of the same type in grey ("Upchurch") ware.
