 version was popularly called "delftware," even though 

 made in London, Bristol, or Liverpool. 



Surpiisingly, a minimum of tin-enameled wares 

 was found at Marlborough, with several sherds re- 

 llecting the Port Town period. One of the latter 

 shows the lower portion of a heavy, dark-blue floral 

 spray, growing up, apparently, front a flowerpot. A 

 section of foot rim and the contour of the sherd 

 show that this was a 17th-century charger, probably 

 dating from about 1680 (USNM 60.177, fig. 68a). 

 The leaves are painted in the same manner as on a 

 Lambeth fuddling cup."" A section of a plate with 

 no foot rim includes an inner border which encircles 

 the central panel design. It consists of two parallel 

 lines w ith flattened spirals joined in a series l)etween 

 the lines. The glaze is crackled. This probablv dates 

 from the .same period as the preceding sherd (,L S.NM
