Possible booty from raids of Roman settlements in Gaul and Britain rather than the result of trade?

Or a potter from Britian who made pottery the Roman way and took a summer trip to Sweden or Denmark.

The question would be, did they analyse the pottery clay used. If the clay used matches Italian terra cotta, its from Rome. If it matches Swedish or Danish clay, its from Scandinavia. Does'nt say in the story. I would assume that they did this or would not say it was Roman.
