Clay dimpled beakers were used in Roman colonies such as Noricum, Raetia, and Pannonia.
They featured dimples across their outer surface. These dimples were created by pressing or moulding the clay, when wet. They enhanced the grip and added visual appeal.
The beakers, typically made of durable reddish-brown or greyish clay, were common drinking vessels in these regions, reflecting Roman utilitarian design.
