Dotted and Combed North Midlands/Staffordshire-Type Slipware Cup

(1670 - 1795)

Thirteen mending base, body and rim sherds from a North Midlands/Staffordshire-Type slipware cup, bowl, drinking pot or similar vessel type. The exterior has combed dark brown slip lines through a colorless or yellow glaze and a dotted pattern just below the exterior rim. The interior appears undecorated. The bottom of the base is unglazed and has a tooled pedestal foot. The vessel mends in two sections but all sherds are likely from the same vessel.
