Grooved ware, vessel
A Neolithic incomplete fragmentary Grooved Ware vessel dating 3,000 to 2,100 BCE. The vessel is decorated with incised lines and chevrons.
Grooved ware is a pottery style which originated in Orkney and was then adopted across Britain and Wales. It is flat-based which makes it suitable for standing on a flat surface such as a table. Grooved ware vessels may be plain or decorated and there is evidence that some were coloured.
