Roman Gaul (France) - Amphoralis
Amphoralis - the largest Pottery in Roman Gaul.
My "Amphora" made in one of the original ovens some 2,000 years after the pottery was first established ! A small reproduction made about twenty years ago for the Cave Co-operative in Sallèles-d'Aude - a very short production run of these were made (all that could be fitted into the original oven) and came filled with the local wine.
Now, during the summer months, I put it in my freezer (empty !) - it is then the perfect way to serve a nice local White or Rosé on my terrace at lunchtime.
