Some of the more usual and more striking forms of the vessels from New Forest potteries are grouped together on Figs. [141 to 151]. A selection of patterns from the wares are grouped on Figs. [152 to 157], some of which will be seen to bear a close resemblance to those of the Castor ware.
Figs. 166 and 167.—Potter’s Mould, Headington.
Of the potters’ kiln, &c., found near Colchester, where probably some ware in imitation of the fine red Samian was produced, a notice will be found in “Collectanea Antiqua.”[19] In the Yorkshire potteries—for there can be little doubt that at Potters Newton, at York, and at other places pot-works existed in these early times—the curious vessels ornamented with what are usually called “frill patterns” were made, as also other slip and scaled patterns, as on Figs. [158], [159], and [160].
Figs. 168 to 170.—Mortaria, from Headington.
Fig. 171.—From Headington.
Figs. 172 to 175.—From Headington.
