From the collection of a late East Anglian teacher and antiquarian who retired to the Isle of Wight in Hampshire, UK. He amassed a large collection of objects between the 1960s-1980s.

The surface divided into panels by conventional palm-leaf ornament reports often the inscription [CINNAMI]. The letter here left could be the end of the stamp CINNAMI, if we consider the last letter O just an ornament. His work was common throughout Gallia and Britannia. He belongs to a period of great activity at Lezoux, but also to a time when the potteries on the Rhine had to some extent displaced the wares of the south. In Scotland we must associate his wares with the Antonine occupation. [No Reserve]
