From the standpoint of identifying and dating the archeologically recovered sgraffito ware, these jugs are important in showing certain traits similar to those found in the sherds, while displaying other characteristics that are distinctly different. They support the archeological evidence that the Jamestown pieces are earlier than the jugs and that new design concepts were appearing by the turn of the century in a novel type of presentation piece. NORTH DEVON PLAIN SLIP-COATED WARE This is a plain variant of the sgraffito ware, differing only in the absence of decoration and in some of the forms. Site: Jamestown. FORMS Plates: Diameter 7"-11-1/2". Profiles as in sgraffito plates. Upper surface slipped and glazed. Eating bowls: Diameter 9"; height 3-1/2". Profile and handle same as in sgraffito bowls. Slipped and glazed on interior and over rim. Porringers: Diameter 5-1/2"; height 2-3/4". Ogee profiles. Horizontal loop handle applied 3/4" below rim on each. Slipped and glazed on interiors. (Fig. 22.) Drinking bowls: Diameter of rim, including handle, 5"; height 2-3/4"-3"; diameter of base 2". In shape of mazer bowl, these have narrow bases and straight sides terminating in raised tooled bands at the junctions with vertical or slightly inverted rims 1" in height. Each has a horizontal looped handle attached at bottom of rim. Slipped and glazed on interiors. (Fig. 22.) Wavy-edge pans: Diameter 9"-10"; height 2".

NORTH DEVON GRAVEL-TEMPERED WARE Sites: Jamestown, Kecoughtan, Green Spring, Williamsburg, Marlborough, John Washington House, Kent Island, Angelica Knoll, Townsend, John Bowne House, "R. M.," Winslow, John Howland House. PASTE Manufacture: Wheel-turned, except ovens and rectangular pans, which are "draped" over molds. (See "Forms," below.) Temper: Very coarse water-worn quartz and feldsparthic gravel up to one-half inch in length; also occasional sherds. Proportion of temper 15-25 percent, except in ovens, which were about 30 percent. Texture: Poorly kneaded, bubbly, and porous, with temper poorly mixed. Temper particles easily rubbed out of matrix. Very irregular and angular cleavage because of coarse temper. Hard and resistant to blows, but crumbles at fracture when broken. Color: Dull pinkish red to deep orange-red. Almost invariably gray at core, except in ovens. Firing: Carelessly fired, with incomplete oxidation of paste. SURFACE Treatment: Glazed with powdered galena on interiors of containers, never externally. Glaze very carelessly applied, with much evidence of dripping, running, and unintentional spilling. Texture: Very coarse and irregular, with gravel temper protruding.
