Holt Roman Pottery

Just outside Chester, at Holt, there was a Roman pottery, supplying earthenware to the fortress. The pots below were unearthed locally, and are on display in the Grosvenor Museum. The potters at Holt specialised in a number of different styles and shapes of pottery, some of which show a remarkable degree of technological sophistication. I especially love the whole pot shown below - you can almost see the fingers of the potter shaping the neck of the vessel.
