Alice Holt Jar

Everyday life in Pontes, Roman Staines – an Alice Holt food storage jar. 'Alice Holt' sounds like the Roman version of 'Clarice Cliff', but is actually a place, a wood near Farnham on the Hampshire/Surrey border. Roman potteries in the area produced enormous quantities of what is unkindly termed 'grey coarse ware'. Alice Holt jars and dishes are found extensively in the South East of England, and by the 4th century it accounts for 70% of all the pottery found at Staines. Our jar was reconstructed in the 1980s and the 'new' plaster parts crudely painted grey in an attempt to match the original. If we were doing this today the new parts would be left 'virgin' and clearly distinct from the original. Sitting on the back shelf of the 'Roman shop' in the museum, it gives a good impression of what would be sitting on shelves in most houses of the time. Reading museum have a rather beautiful complete version of this jar on display. Our jar stands 196mm high, 151mm outer rim diameter, 118mm inner rim diameter, 127mm Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab罗马时期斯坦斯的庞特斯日常遗存——一件爱丽丝霍尔特（Alice Holt）食品储物罐。"爱丽丝霍尔特"听上去仿佛是克莱丽丝·克里夫（Clarice Cliff）的罗马复刻版，但实际上它是一处地名：位于汉普郡与萨里郡边界附近、法纳姆周边的一片林地。该地区的罗马陶窑生产了大量被略带贬义地称为"灰色粗陶"的器物。爱丽丝霍尔特风格的罐与盘在英格兰东南部广泛出土，至公元4世纪时，其在斯坦斯出土的全部陶器中占比高达70%。 本件陶罐于20世纪80年代完成修复，修复人员为匹配原器，将新增的石膏部分粗略涂成灰色。若在今日开展此类修复工作，新增部分会保留原生未饰状态，与原器物形成清晰区分。它陈列于博物馆"罗马商店"展区的后货架上，能够直观展现当时多数家庭货架上常见的器物风貌。雷丁博物馆（Reading Museum）展出有一件品相极佳的该款陶罐完整器。 本件陶罐通高196毫米，外口径151毫米，内口径118毫米，127毫米。 来源：Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
