The body is ovoid in shape and the handles have a central groove (Laubenheimer, 1985).

Origin

A number of workshops are known in Gallia Narbonensis: Corneilhan (Hérault, Laubenheimer, 1985), Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône: Bertucchi, 1992: Fig. 55(Bertucchi 7A)), Ponteilla (Pyrénées Orientales). It was also made outside this region at Chartres ( Eure-et-Loir, Sellès, 2001: 149-151), Noyon (Oise, Laubenheimer, 2003), Châlon-sur-Saône (Saône-et-Loire, Olmer, 1996), Sens (Yonne & Laubenheimer, 2003) and in the Bordeaux region (Berthault, 1992: Fig.2).
