Distinctive Features

This form has a bell shaped mouth with a thickened short rim which has a concave outer face, a heavy cylindrical neck with long flattened handles sharply bent over below the rim and a 'radish-shaped' body which has a long hollow spike (Peacock & Williams, 1986: Class 17).

Pompeii 7 is closely allied to this form but has a slightly more upright rim and thicker ridged handles.
