 in the mode of attachment of the handle and the ornamentation. 



Fig. 56. A -fragment of a somewhat similar pipkin of thinner ware. 

 The handle is broken off and shows the mode of attachment. The bowl 

 of the vessel was completed and ornamented ; the handle was then 

 pinched on and the whole vessel fired and glazed. The horizontal lines 

 of ornament are clearly seen on the handle (57) as well as on the red un- 

 glazed surface from which the handle has become detached.

Fig. 60. A plate of Delft ware with blue concentric marks on white. 

 Underneath it is unglazed and shows only the rough yellow surface of the 

 paste. The stand was perforated previous to baking to allow a cord or 

 wire to be passed through for suspension. Dr Glaisher refers this plate of 

 which a large piece from rim to centre is preserved to the 16th or early 

 17th century. The diameter when whole was 10^ inches.
