Prehistoric-style
Pottery
|
|
Clay has been worked by people since the time of our ancestors in
pre-history. They used pottery items in both their everyday lives
and for use in ritual. All our items have been crafted with hand-dug
clay from ancient Wessex and created using the time-honoured
techniques of the ancient people of the land. Each item is
completely hand-made from start to finish and is fired in the
traditional way.
The Prehistoric-style pottery items
featured on these pages are carefully copied replicas of
archaeological finds in the ancient Wessex area of Britain. We offer
a range of pottery from elaborate beakers to incense cups.

The finished items
sometimes have minor flaws, such as small hairline cracks, and
colour mottling - this is perfectly normal and is due to the ancient
techniques used in crafting. This is all part of the character of
the item and doesn't effect the use in any way. |
