NOTICES OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL PUBLICATIONS. 85 Another plate represents objects in glass, the fluted bowl is of an unusual and elegant design ; the square glass bottle is particularly interesting, from having the maker's name stamped on the bottom ; in shape it is similar to others discovered near Saffron Walden and Harpenden, and described in former Volumes of this Jom'nal. Vol. i., page 150, and vol. ii., page 25.5. The Cut (Fig. 1) represents a vase of peculiar form, found at Colchester, filled with coins of Constans ; it is five inches high, of white clay, and most probably of Anglo-Roman Pottery, as is also the long-necked vessel of dark grey clay (Fig. 3), the surface sparkling with grains of metallic lustre ; it is said to have been found in Kent. The vase (Fig. 3) is more curious than elegant in design, with one handle, discovered in 1830, in Wivenhoe Park, near Colchester. (Fig. 4) is a small Anglo-Pioman vase of unbaked clay, two inches and a half high, found at West Hanningfield Common, in 1823, containing fragments of very- small bones, laid on its side within a larger vase, also con- taining ashes and fragments of bones, but which fell to pieces on exposure to the air. It may be inferred from the peculiar relative association of the two vases, that they very probably contamed the remains of a mother and child. (Fig. 5) is a small patera, found with the vases. The ne.xt plate con- tains the upper surface of the lamp before noticed, and an annilla of bronze, of thick heavy wire, the ends overlapping and joined together. The last plate contains a bronze handle, pro- bably of a sacrificial vessel, of elegant design ; a Roman vase five inches and a half, found at Flintham, in Nottinghamshire, three feet below the Fig. 4.- Fig- 5. surface, on the inclosure of the Lordship, in 1776 ; and a stamp of metal, with raised letters, probably used for marking pottery, an object of considerable rarity. We understand it is the intention of Mr. Disney to favour the public with a third Part, descriptive of painted vases and other objects of Etruscan art,
