THE WEDGWOODS. 



The engraving here given shows a remarkably formed 



vessel from Wetton, Stafford- 

 shire, which is peculiar by having 

 looped ears at its sides. 



The incense-cups of Stafford- 

 shire, like those of Derbyshire, 

 vary in form and in style of 

 decoration. They are very small 

 vessels, not more than from an 



inch and a half to three inches in height. The ornaments 

 are, as in the other remains of this period, incised or 

 indented lines. Their usual forms are seen in the accom- 

 panying engravings. 



The first, a remarkably fine example, was found in a 



barrow at Throwley, in Staffordshire, by Mr. Carrington, and 

 is preserved in the Bateman Museum, at Lomberdale House. 

 It is ornamented with incised lines, and is three inches and 

 a half in diameter, and two inches and one eighth in height. 



The second is from the barrow at Darley Dale, which has 

 before been spoken of; the third is from a barrow on Baslow 

 Moor; and the fourth from a similar tumulus on Stanton 

 Moor.
