84 THE POTTERY 



2, 3, 4. Three fragments from similar vases (one in Plate I., 1). 



5. Several fragments from a bowl of similar shape, but 

 embossed from very poor moulds. The design is shown in 

 almost flat outline without modelling, and the mouldings of 

 the bowl are also much flattened. The design apparently 

 contained human figures in panels. The style seems to belong 

 to the very end of the Graufesenque fabric. 



6. Base of small bowl stamped on interior ITNO, probably 

 to be restored as OF. PONTI {i.e., Officina Ponti). This same 

 potter's name occurs on a bowl of Graufesenque type found at 

 Buxton (Vict. Count. Hist, of Derby, p. 225, Fig. 27). It occurs 

 also at York and London, in Germany, and five times at 

 Graufesenque itself (C.I.L., vii. 83 — 87, and xiii. 1545). 



7. Shape 30. Narrow plain band below rim : " egg and 

 dart" pattern: cruciform patterns in rectangular panels and 

 circles. Plate II., 2. 



8. Several fragments forming an almost complete bowl of 

 shape 37. Narrow plain band below rim, slightly moulded : 

 " egg and dart " pattern : frieze of festoons and tassels, with 

 leaves on long, winding stalks within each festoon : frieze with 

 running design of volutes and foliage : wreath pattern. 

 Plate II., 3. 



9. Fragments forming a similar bowl. Plain band below 

 rim : " egg and dart " pattern : " free " design of trees (oaks), 

 stags and lions. Plate II., 1. 



10. Fragment with beaded lines dividing panels. One panel 

 contains a well-known figure of Vulcan, clad in exomis and 

 pileus, the right foot raised on a base, with the right arm 

 resting on the thigh, the left hand holding his smith's pincers : 

 uncertain objects in the field. The head has apparently been 

 obliterated with a square stamp. The other panel contains a 

 bird with raised wings within circle. Plate I., 5. 



11. Fragment of "free" design with large and small lions 

 and boar. Plate I., 4. 



12. Fragment with two bands of panels, containing ivy- leaf, 

 sea monster, concentric circles and semi-circles enclosing mask 

 of a bearded male head, and another, doubtful object. In a 

 larger panel is a draped female figure, much damaged. 

 Plate I., 6. 



13. Fragment with "egg and dart" pattern, and hares within 

 semi-circular festoons.
