Did someobody call?? Ooo. Nice. :face-approve: I've no idea of course. As far as the holes go, it was clearly made with the holes in it (as opposed to them having been drilled after it was fired) so whatever it is, the holes are part of the original design and the initially intended function. Perils of being interested in where the pottery *isn't*... I shall be awaiting further info with interest. Our mystery holey pot - Dinosaur - 19th May 2011 Handy for flower-arranging?

Our mystery holey pot - ecmgardner - 19th May 2011 Could it be a Roman edible dormouse jar? The photo rings a bell from somewhere way back in my degree along with etruscan cheese graters. I remember that Roman soldiers used to carry them around with live dormice in them as supplies. (My parents live in south Bucks and there are still edible dormice about there). Here's an example of one: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4rt8ZNTPE3M/S_jnOQLe5GI/AAAAAAAAJBY/CJFEs-Xi8EI/s1600/ZIMG_B120.JPG Our mystery holey pot - BAJR - 19th May 2011 I thought that... but was not sure.. now I am |
