Includes photocopy of information card with photocopy of image of object (date unspecified); Hunt Museum object comment sheet (10 July 1996) containing remarks made about the object by Lindsay Allason-Jones, Museum of Antiquities, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Notes state that the provenance of the object is second-century Lascoux, France. Also that the pot is in the Barbotine style but without the Barbotine decoration applied. Also referred to as a colour coated drinking pot. Allason-Jones questions if the object might be from a shipwreck, and that it is probably heavily-abraded.
