7. Tyg, black lead-glazed red ware, double handled; height
conjectural. 17th century. (Fig. 8, no. 8.) A3, B3, B6A, C3,
C4, E3, E9, F3, G2, G3A, H3, 10.
8. Tyg, rim sherd only, brown lead-glazed red ware, thinner than
no. 7 and its ribbing not extending as close to the mouth;
diameter approximately 4-1/2 inches, 17th century. B1.
9. Mug, black lead-glazed red ware, thin-walled bulbous body;
handle conjectural. The form's closest published parallel is
a red ware example which was exhibited at the Burlington Fine
Arts Club, London, in 1914, and bore the legend MR. THOMAS
FENTON in white slip below the rim. The piece was identified
as Staffordshire, about 1670.[50] A comparable mug was found
in 1964 in excavations at Mathews Manor in Warwick County in a
context of the second quarter of the 17th century. [W.S.199;
unpublished.] A3, G3A, H3.
10. Rim sherd from large pan, red body liberally flecked with
ocher, thin lead glaze, the rim folded and flattened on the
upper edge. This fragment is of importance in that it is almost
certainly made from the local Tidewater Virginia clay, yet the
rim technique has not been found on any of the pottery kiln
sites so far located. Date uncertain. K11.

objects.]
11. Rim sherd from pan or wide bowl, red ware with greenish-brown
lead glaze, the rim thickened and undercut. This form, and
variants on it, were common from the mid-17th century and on
through the 18th, and they are therefore impossible to date on
stylistic grounds alone. Probably English. C4.
12. Rim sherd from large shallow pan, red ware with yellowish-green
lead glaze; the rim thickened, folded and undercut, the upper
surface flattened and with a pronounced ridge at its angle
with the bowl; diameter approximately 1 foot 6 inches. Dating
considerations as no. 11. Probably English. E4.
13. Rim sherd from storage jar, red ware with brown lead glaze,
the rim thickened, folded, and flattened on the top; diameter
approximately 10-1/2 inches. The form was common from about
1650 to 1750. Probably English. E2.
