7. Chamber pot, gray Westerwald stoneware. Im- 

 pressed and molded ornamentation highlighted in 

 cobalt. .Surviving body fragments do not join to 

 handle, which has been added only to show its re- 

 lationship to the body form and not to the position- 

 ing of decoration. Ornament normally comprises 

 three stamped rosettes — one opposite handle flanked 

 by single sprigged lions facing towards it, the others 

 to the left and right of lions. See fig. 13, no. 1.

 Century Rubbish Pit, Trinity .Street, 1953," Chrskr and Dislrtcl 

 Archaeiilnoical Society Journal, 1957, vol. 44, fig. 2, no. 14, where 

 basins of this type are recorded in a context apparently dating 

 prior to about 1730. It is considered unlikely, however, that 

 the Rosewell examples are as early (see p.l70 of this report).
