14. Shallow bowl or pan with flattened and everted rim.
Colono-Indian pottery; the ware buff and heavily shell-tempered
and retaining traces of surface burnishing. T.N. 23.
15. Rim and wall fragment of bowl with roughly flattened and
everted rim. Colono-Indian pottery, the body pale buff and
finely shell-tempered. T.N. 19.
16. Rim sherd from bowl of local Indian pottery. Lip thickened
and slightly incurving; body pink to buff and coarsely
shell-tempered; the exterior stick-burnished. T.N. 19.
17. Rim and wall fragment of cup or small bowl, the rim slightly
everted by tooling beneath it. Colono-Indian pottery; body
pinkish buff with traces of red ocher in the clay; exterior
surface highly burnished. It is possible that the fragment came
from a vessel comparable to that shown in figure 12, which was
found in excavations at Williamsburg.[165] T.N. 23.
BROWN SALT-GLAZED STONEWARES
18. Body and handle terminal fragments from pint (?) tankard.
Mottled purplish-brown exterior and reddish-brown interior;
the rim conjectural and the lower body and basal section
modeled on no. 19. Probably of English manufacture, London or
Bristol.[166] T.N. 1, T.N. 4.
19. Basal and wall fragments of pint (?) tankard. Similar in form
to the above. Two fragments present, one with the beginning of
the red slip that becomes mottled brown in firing, a feature
that normally extends from the midsection upwards to the
rim. The lower body is gray, as is the interior; the foot is
ornamented with a ridge, cordon, and double ridge. T.N. 17.
20. Rim sherd of quart (?) tankard. Burnt; the rim thinned from the
inside and ornamented on the outside with a single groove; dark
purplish-brown mottling on the exterior, a little of the slip
from which extends over the interior of the rim. T.N. 23.
21. Jug or drinking pot. Bulbous body with good quality tooling at
the shoulder; handle with single groove down the spine; the
base and neck conjectural, but modeled after the forms produced
by Dwight of Fulham in the late 17th century.[167] The ware is
a pale gray and appears white beneath the internal salt glaze.
It is possible that this is an example of the use of the white
salt-glazed body conceived by Dwight, and that it may have
come from his factory. The refined clay enables the ware to be
thinly and finely potted. T.N. 1.
