Title
A base sherd from a Roman Central Gaulish Lezoux samian ware plate/bowl, possibly Form Drag 18 or Drag 31 dating to AD 135-170.
Description
English: A base sherd from a Roman Central Gaulish Lezoux samian ware plate/bowl, possibly Form Drag 18 or Drag 31 dating to AD 135-170. The remaining sherd consists of part of the foot ring and base of the vessel. The centre of the base rises into a cone with a maker's stamp CREIRO.OFI impressed across the top of the cone at the centre of the interior of the vessel. This is the stamp of the potter Criciro v, who was working in Lezoux from AD 135-170. The foot ring is chamfered. The fragment has a pink fabric and is coated in a red slip on both the inside and outside. Similar examples are illustrated in Oswald & Pryce (1920 PL XLVI).

Dimensions: length: 97.46mm; height: 31.03mm; weight: 50.40g.

Webster (1996:33) writes "The form is transitional between a plate and a bowl. In 18/31 the angle between the wall and the floor is shallower than in 18 but still present. The floor rises in the centre but less markedly than in 31 and 31R."
