The Romans in Britain created black-burnished ware pottery with two distinct variants: BB1 and BB2. While both types share some similarities, they also exhibit notable differences. BB2 boasts a finer texture, crafted using the wheel rather than traditional hand-throwing methods. This refined technique is believed to have originated near the Thames Estuary, whereas BB1 was manufactured in the region of Dorset. The model displayed here showcases a jar produced in the distinctive BB2 style.
