Historical & Archaeological Inspired Pottery
As an archaeologist, my favourite thing is to geek out on pottery finds from archaeological sites. Making replicas and archaeo-inspired pottery is an absolute treat for me, always love a bit of rearching artefacts and making replicas of them .
Made by an archaeologist and living historian, for re-enactors, museums and history lovers alike.
From Bronze Age to Early Medieval, Viking, Anglo Saxon, Medieval and onwards....
Get in touch with any ideas, orders etc!
Neolithic & Bronze Age
(~4,000 - 800 BC)
From the famous Beaker Culture, to cup and ring mark designs, here's some examples of Bronze Age inspired pots!
These ones are more Archaeo-inspired than replicas!
Iron Age (800BC - 43AD)
Replicas of British Iron Age pottery, created using the same techniques as seen in the archaeology, these lovely ceramics show off the patterns and artwork characteristic of a lot of iron age artefacts.
Replicas of pottery from Glastonbury Lake Village and Danebury Hillfort.
Pictish (5th-9th century AD)
The Picts of my native Scotland are famous for their carved symbol stones. They're fun symbols to put on pots too as Archaeo-inspired pieces!
Viking (8th-11th century AD)
The famous vikings with their explorations far and wide brought together pottery of many different cultures and traditions making it an interesting era for ancient clay.
Anglo Saxon (5th-11th century AD)
Early medieval Britain... bringing urns, grave good pots and more exciting pottery finds to work from.
Medieval (11th-15th century AD)
Green glazes, cheeky faces, from the weird and wonderful to the practical and mundane. Medieval pots are firmly some of my favorites to make replicas of!
I have a replica medieval kick wheel which I use for displays of medieval craftsmanship, bringing this dynamic skill to life at events.
