1 . VVesterwald chamber pot, gray saltglazed stone- 

 ware. Rim thickened, flattened, and everted; 

 cordoning beneath rim ornamented with single 

 band of cobalt, similar cordoning and cobalt band 

 aijove .slightly concave base; typical l)ody ornament 

 in form of applied, molded lions, rampant and 

 crowned, alternating with impressed rosettes; all 

 ornamentation highlighted and surrounded with 

 cobalt. Because a template was used in making it, 

 the body shows evidence of chattering, a character- 

 istic that generally appears on chaml:)er pots and 

 storage jars, but not as often on other German 

 gray stoneware forms. Handle incomplete but 

 characteristically heavy and markedly reeded. 

 Chamber pots of this type were in production l)v 

 around 1720 and seem to have remained popular 

 until about 1760; however, like pots of other wares, 

 they became slightly taller and less pleasingly 

 shaped towards the end of the period. It may ije 

 significant that in 1770 Mann Page ordered white 



chamber pots for use at Mannsfield,*'' but makes no 

 mention of the German blue and gray. This 

 example seems to belong to the second quarter of 

 the 18th ccniur\. C;2, C3, P2, P3. Reconstructed 

 drawing, fig. 26, no. 7. 



2. Wcsterwald tankard, gray saltglazed stonewares. 

 Rim and upper body sherds only; rim somewhat 

 V-sectionecl with heavy cordoning beneath it 

 highlighted with two bands of cobalt; body ap- 

 parently decorated with hatched diamond motif, 

 alternate diamonds being filled with cobalt. 

 Mid-1 8th century. J2, Kl. Reconstructed draw- 

 ing, fig. 26, no. 8. 



3. Rhenish, possilily Grenzhausen, jug, gray salt- 

 glazed stoneware. Neck fragment only: rim V- 

 shaped with broad band of cordoning offset beneath 

 with two bands of cobalt; body bulbous and dec- 

 orated with cobalt, no e\'idence of design. Jugs 

 of this type were popidar during the last decade of 

 the 17th century and the first of the 18th. The 

 pieces were generally ornamented with the cypher 

 of William III or Queen Anne. The poor quality 

 of this specimen suggests that it belongs to the 

 latter reign or perhaps a little later.-'" First quarter 

 of 18th centiny. Co. Reconstructed drawing, 

 fig. 26, no. 9. 



4. W'esterwald jug, gray saltglazed stoneware with 

 cobalt decoration. Neck fragment and part of 

 handle. Probably second quarter of 18th century. 

 F3. 



5. W'esterwald jug, gray saltglazed stoneware. Body 

 sherds only; ware thinly potted and pale brown on 

 interior; stylized foliate decoration on exterior 

 incised and filled with cobalt surroimding a cen- 

 tral medallion molded with a wreath aroimd the 

 "'G. R."' cypher of King George of England with a 

 crown flanked by two birds above and a winged 

 angel beneath. The initials of the moldmaker, 

 "S. \V.," beside the right wing and beneath the 

 tail of the R. .\nother example of this maker's 

 work has been found in exca\-ations in Williams- 

 burg.^'' The "G. R." cypher was made for ex- 

 port to England during the reigns of George I and 

 George II. and it is uncertain to which reign this jug 

 belongs. Probably second quarter of 18th century.
