Roman Vessel from Northern Africa / Ideas?

[caiusbeerquitius]

I'll try to find anything similar...

Red spots are a corroded vernish?

Thanks!

No, there´s no varnish on the vessel, it´s regular cheap ware. The dots are traces of vegetation / roots from when the vessel was in the ground. The vessel is definitely an original, the ownwer was present when it was excavated. My guess that it is Roman derives from the similarity to European Roman common ware, very smooth surface, the short foot, and the material. He has an other vessel from the same region which is punic and dates between 800 and 900 BC. (three ring-decoration) The surface and material are quite different.
