22. Neck, shoulder, and handle-terminal fragments of jug. The neck
ornamented with multiple grooving; the handle terminal pressed
into the body with one finger; the glaze a rich purplish brown,
reddish brown inside.[168] A common form manufactured in London
at the close of the 17th century and made elsewhere, including
Yorktown, certainly through the second quarter of the 18th
century.[169] T.N. 23.
GERMAN SALT-GLAZED STONEWARE
23. Large (Westerwald) tankard, base and lower body sherds only.
Stylized foliate and geometric ornament incised and filled with
cobalt on an extremely pale-gray body; multiple cordons and
grooves above the base; two concave bands filled with blue; the
base slightly rising and scored with haphazard lines before
firing. T.N. 23.

COARSE EARTHENWARES
1. Cream pan of Yorktown (?) earthenware.[170] The rim rolled;
spout conjectural, based on others from the same group; base
slightly rising; exterior of body above base displaying potting
rings and knife work; body containing small quantities of
quartz grit, pink-cored and yellow at the edges; exterior
unglazed but orange-pink slipped, and the interior lead-glazed
a ginger brown mottled with iron. T.N. 24.
2. Cream pan. The rim thickened, incurving and undercut; ware as
of no. 1, but the internal glaze a darker brown; approximate
diameter, 14 in. T.N. 18.
3. Cream pan. Similar to no. 1 but with spout (from which the
above was copied), and the exterior slip somewhat more orange
in color. T.N. 23.
4. Cream pan. With spout and rolled rim; the ware red-bodied,
flecked with quartz grit and red ocher; exterior a deep red
to black; internal glaze a dark greenish brown; approximate
diameter, 14-3/4 in. T.N. 23.
5. Cream pan. The rim thickened, incurving, and undercut; body
pale buff; exterior with pale-orange slip; internal glaze a
lustrous purple, presumably somewhat overfired. Fragments with
this colored glaze are among the many possible wasters from
Yorktown. Diameter approximately 14 in. T.N. 23.
6. Cream pan. Unusual, shouldered rim sherd, perhaps intended
to take a cover; red body with ginger-brown glaze; probably
English. T.N. 4.
7. Storage jar, body fragments only. Decorated with medial grooves
and applied trails pressed in piecrust style beneath the
missing rim; the body gray-cored and red at the edges, coated
with a light-brown glaze flecked here and there with pale
green. Presumably English. T.N. 30.
8. Rim fragment from small cup or pot. Hard yellow body coated
with a pale treacly glaze. Probably Staffordshire. T.N. 18.
