Susan,
Try this fine reference. Not sure your items were sold in sets in the sense that we are used to with sets of tablewares

Hi All,
I am hoping someone could point me toward some reference that can help me understand the SETS this ware, described below, was sold in.
Smeared through a large deposit I have what appears to be one banded / dipt probable pitcher maybe tankard.
At this site, this vessel exhibits a particularly odd shade of green (plus blue, white, brown/black), and bits crossmend with bits from areas dozens of feet away.
There are 65 units.
No piece is larger than a thumbnail.
This green color appears in many of the units. But again, I only seem to have one item. There are only 2 rim frags, crossmending from different units, and maybe 1 base frag.
I know the forms/shapes/vessel types this ware came in; I am hoping someone could point me toward some reference that can help me understand the SETS this ware was sold in.
Thank you!
S. Walter
