Actually, the flask looks very Asian, from the enameled designs to the style of handle.

Intriguing, isn't it. Yet now fairly confidently ascribed to Britain, with recent finds from Corbridge, London etc :)

Honestly, if you had told me that they were from Asia (India, China, et al), I wouldn’t have batted an eye. Officially fascinated, and a little obsessed.

We appear to have been better at manufacturing (& exporting) in Romano-British times. :)

In pre-Roman times, too. Caesar needed our money!

The designs on the flask also make me think of the grottesche in the Domus Aurea.
