wallfd collar iaclinina; slightly inwards at top; flat 

 shoulder ridged at outer end; bulbous body with 

 double girth grooves incurves to ridge matching that 

 below shoulder; rolled and flaring foot with raised 

 bottom; traces of round-sectioned handle remain, 

 but no evidence for spout; spout has been recon- 

 structed from examples in Colonial Williamsburg's 

 archeological collections. It is not to be inferred 

 that lid no. 8 belongs to this teapot. Second quarter 

 of 18th century. A2, E2, J2, Kl, K2, and surface. 



10. Cup, English white saltglazed stoneware. Con- 

 jectural reconstruction; small footring with raised 

 ba.se; girth ridge around body with wall flaring 

 somewhat above it (see fig. 28, no. 14). Two cups 

 of this type were found in excavations in a cellar of 

 Robert "King" Carter's mansion, Coro toman, 

 which burned in 1729. About 1720-1740. A2, E2. 



11. Saucer (?), English white saltglazed stoneware. 

 Base only; V-shaped footring; thick bottom. 

 Probably third quarter of 18th century. E3. 



12. Tankard, English gray-cored and white-slipped 

 saltglazed stoneware. Rim sherd onh ; lip slightly 

 everted and coated on outside with band of iron 

 oxide. This coating, generally found on early ex- 

 amples, was a device to co\er a falling away of the 

 slip that tended to mar the appearance of the 

 rim — an imperfection that is said to have been 

 overcome by about 1720." Abcut 1710-1720. J2. 



13. Saucer, English white saltglazed stoneware. 

 Rim sherd only; body ornamented with molded 

 ba.sket motif. About 1745-1765. J2. 



14. Plate. English white saltglazed stoneware. Rim 

 molded with dot, diaper, and basket pattern; wall 

 sharply angled inside and out; no footring; good 

 quality molding. About 1745-1760. B2, D2, and 

 surface.

1 . Cylindrical mug or small tankard, brown stone- 

 ware — probably English. Strap handle; small 

 groove below slightly everted rim; body orna- 

 mented above ba.se with double ridge, cordon, and 

 single ridge; foot flares slightly to resemble lip; base 

 slightly rising; tight-grained ware; exterior gray, 

 interior pale brown. Probably mid-1 8th century.'*

78 vVere it not for the evidence of brown saltglazed stoneware 

 manufacture at Yorktown (see p. 171), there would be no hesi- 

 tation in claiming an English origin for all the Rosewell stone- 

 wares of this type. 



2. Handle and body fragment from large brown 

 stoneware storage jar, unevenly fired gray core and 

 the interior surface pink. The handle is of the 

 in\ertecl cup t>pe and roughly luted to the body, 

 the exterior points of contact having been punched 

 into the body with a flat-ended stick or .some com- 

 parable tool. While this may have been intended 

 as a decorative feature, it also ser\ed to bind the 

 body and handle together. Probably Yorktown. 

 Second to third quarter of 18th century. Bl and 

 surface. 



3. Large storage jar of brown stoneware. The rim 

 thickened, outbent and sheK'ed on the inside to 

 take a lid, the walls thick and scored with decorative 

 grooves at the shoulder and girth, the base thick 

 and slightly rising. The exterior is coated with a 

 thick, treacly and mottled green-brown glaze 

 while the interior possesses an overall chocolate 

 brown glaze. On the evidence of the paralleling of 

 the exterior glaze among the Yorktown kiln refuse, 

 it is considered that the Rosewell jar comes from 

 that source. Second or third quarter of 18th 

 centurx with the emphasis towards the latter. F3 

 and surface. 



4. Bulbous storage jar of brown stoneware in the 

 Lambeth or Fulham style. The outbent rim shelved 

 on the inside to take a lid, the walls thin and scored 

 with decorative grooves around the shoulder and 

 girth, the base slighth' rising. Mottled purplish 

 glazing on the upper body but marred by yellow- 

 streaks running down from rim to base. A lump of 

 excess clay (perhaps from touching an adjacent 

 pot in the kiln), thickly vitrified, is attached to the 

 body above the base, indicating that this vessel was 

 prol)al)K a second. The w-are is a tightly grained 

 gray and the interior surface a pale brown (see also 

 fig. 29, no. 1 ). Probably second or third quarter of 

 18th century. C.2, C3, F3, J3, P3. 



5. Rim of large lead-glazed earthenware storage 

 jar of a type generally described as Iberian, ex- 

 amples of which were recovered from wrecks of 

 vessels sunk in 1781 at Yorktown. The rim of the 

 Rosewell example is much cleca\cd but has been 

 reconstructed for the drawing from examples in the 

 Colonial Williamsburg collection. The rim is 

 thickened and channeled around tlie inner edge 

 to take a lid. The ware is pale pink and has a pur- 

 plish brown glaze on the interior only. It should be 

 noted that the glaze was clear but acquired its color 

 from contact with the pink body. H2. Jars of this 

 type possessed two \estigial lug handles luted to the
