Sometimes the kiln has other ideas... Our broken Egyptian Celebrant Figures don't go to waste. They become courgette supports in the garden. 😄 Thankfully, the ones that survive the firing are available here: potted-history.co.uk/product… #PottedHistory #AncientEgypt #Pottery

Life is full of transitions. Janus reminds us to learn from the past without living in it, and to face the future with hope. Perhaps that's why this two-faced Roman god still speaks to us after 2,000 years. Learn more - potted-history.co.uk/product… #PottedHistory #Janus #Roman

An ancient tradition relevant today. This is a Japanese Neolithic ear tunnel dating to the Jōmon period (c.10,500 BC to 300 BC). Amazing that modern ear tunnels would be recognisable to Japan's ancient population. Would you wear one? potted-history.co.uk/

The sunshine is doing its job today ☀️ Lots of replicas are drying before heading into the kiln later this week... including a brand new Roman lamp we're keeping secret for now. 🤫 Can you see it? Browse the shop and join the making list: potted-history.co.uk/

One of my favourite replicas. The Genius Cucullatus was found at Birdoswald, so he feels a bit like family. A hooded protector with Celtic roots, later embraced across the Roman world and associated with healing and the protection of children. potted-history.co.uk/product…

How is it July already?! It feels like we were only just at Bryn Celli Ddu. We're now looking for inspiration for new Welsh prehistoric pottery replicas. Seen something fascinating in a museum? Send us a photo! Browse the shop while you're there: potted-history.co.uk/

What did Roman Britain sound like? Perhaps not an emperor... Perhaps an ordinary shepherd playing a simple clay pan pipe. Our Roman ceramic syrinx lets you hear a little of that lost world. potted-history.co.uk/product… #PottedHistory #RomanBritain #RomanHistory #AncientMusic

We've been busy making Medieval & Tudor Marchpane Stampers! Pre orders are now open, & we're already planning the next designs. What Marchpane mould or stamper would you love to see? Your idea might become our next creation. potted-history.co.uk/product… #PottedHistory #FoodHistory

Part 3 of 3 🐷 We've tested rice, lentils, popcorn and ceramic beads. But which creates the best rattle? Sometimes the only way to understand an ancient object is to make one and experiment. See the Roman Pig Rattle: potted-history.co.uk/product…

Part 2 of 3 🐷 Rice. Lentils. Popcorn. Ceramic beads. Do different fillings create different sounds inside a Roman pig rattle? Time for a little experimental archaeology. Explore our Roman Pig Rattle: potted-history.co.uk/product…

What exactly is this curious little pig? 🐷 Part 1 of 3 This Roman pig rattle dates to the 1st to 2nd century AD and may have been more than a toy. Objects like this were thought to help protect children from misfortune and the evil eye. Discover it here: potted-history.co.uk/product…
