The Winterton Cup is one of a small group of enameled vessels regarded as ‘soldier’s souvenirs’ from Hadrian’s Wall. The main body of the Cup is decorated with rows of enameled squares. Though not all of the enamel survives a pattern can be identified. The coloured squares are in diagonal rows of alternating yellow, red, blue and turquoise.
Provenance
Discovered by the vendor whilst metal detecting in Winterton circa 1994.
