Hi List Members:
We have another ceramic we would like input on. It is a very small fragment
of what appears to be salt-glazed stoneware--very hard buff paste. It is a
rim of a bowl/mug/pitcher type vessel--i.e. relatively thin compared to say
crocks. Exterior looks like British brown--brown/white speckled with
typical "orange peel" feel of salt-glazing. Interior, however, is white
slipped with a hand-painted blue band--also "orange peel" feel. Top of rim
is almost devoid of glaze--what little is present is the white slip.
Site which yielded sherd is at edge of St. Augustine, FL, and is yielding a
lot of what looks like 18th c. British period material and a little Spanish
(majolica, olive jars)--"black" glass, wrought nails, Westerwald, pearlware,
white salt-glazed stoneware, a small amount of porcelain, pipestems, etc.
Any advice received will be appreciated.
Lucy Wayne
