Roman pottery flagon
Red ware with creamy slip. Two-ribbed handle. Ring-mouthpiece, with pronounced step. An apparently similar but earlier form from Wilderspool is figured by Thompson Watkin, Roman Cheshire, p. 267. The short concave neck merging gently into the body shows the Holt vessel to be more akin to late secon-century forms such as Balmuildy, Pl. XLIII, 8, or the series figured in the group of that date at Corbridge (Corbridge, 1911, Fig. 8, 92, etc.) Single example.
