Plate V

BROWN SALT-GLAZED STONEWARE

• 1.Rim fragment of large barrel-shaped jar with everted rim, flattened on the upper surface and recessed on the interior to take a lid. Two inches below the rim a round-sectioned horizontal handle is crudely luted onto the body on top of three girth grooves. Both surfaces are slipped with a ferrugineous clay slip which has burnt on the exterior to a mottled light brown and on the interior is a flat yellow orange. Two similar jars were found in deposits dating between 1760 and 1785 on the adjoining Anthony Hay site (1858-28D and 1859-28D). English (?). 1750-1780. [1857-28F4.].

The lower portion is charcoal and has the base of a small strap handle (missing which has been smoothed on the body, and the end folded back on itself. The top of the handle is present and this marks the lower limit of the ferrugineous clay slip which produces the characteristic brown upper section of this class of tankard. Yorktown. 1720-1750. [1862-28F4].
• 5.Portion of rim and body of large, barrel-shaped jar with everted rim, rounded on upper surface. Two inches below the rim are the remains of a round-sectioned, horizontal handle, crudely applied on top of three girth grooves. The body is grey and the upper eight inches of the exterior surface have been dipped in a ferrugineous clay slip to produce the mottled brown effect. External rim diam: 8 ½ ins English. Second half of eighteenth century. [1863-28F4].
• 6.Small, multiple-ringed, neck fragment of jug, in the vertical center of which an oval stamp has been applied producing the raised letters "WR" surmounted by a crown. This is an excise mark of William III, seven of which have been found in Williamsburg, though none from this particular stamp. The use of "WR" does not necessarily mean a date of manufacture between 1688 and 1702, as a tankard 1 dated as late as 1792 bears a mark of this kind.¹ English. 1720-1775. [1864-28F4].
• 7.Body fragment of small, bulbous, handled bottle. The thick strap handle was thumb-pressed onto the body and tapered at its end to form a rat-tail.

The purpose of the slip was to allow the application by trailing of bands of a dark brown slip running horizontally around the jug. The lower part of a small strap handle is present. English, Staffordshire or Bristol, eigthteenth century. [2082-28F4].
• 8.Section of sloping-sided round pan of ochre-flecked buff ware, on the inner surface of which a white slip has been trailed in a series of horizontal bands, in the center of which is a wavy line. The base is flat while the rim is flattened on its upper surface. Height: 3 5/8 ins. Diam of base: 9 ins. Diam of rim: 14 ins. American (?). Eighteenth century. [2083-28F4].

The foot is undercut and the unglazed base rises slightly. Height: 3 ¾ ins. Ext. rim diam: 4 ½ ins. Ext. foot ring diam: 4 ¼ ins. English. Eighteenth century. [2005-28F4].
• 4.Marly and bowl fragment of deep plate or bowl, plain on exterior and with a decoration close to the wide edge of the marly consisting of a series of dashes enclosed between two concentric lines and separated by vertical lines. In the bowl is another band of decoration, enclosed on the upper edge by one, and on the lower by two concentric bands, consisting of series of diamonds with a cross at each junction and a vertical dash pointing inwards from the other two points of the diamond. A plate of this type is illustrated in a paper on "Lambeth Earthenware" by Dr. F. H. Garner in Transactions of the English Ceramic Circle, Volume I, No. 7, plate XIVA, where it is given a Lambeth attribution, and in Old Bristol Potteries by W. J. Pountney, plate XLII, where it is attributed to Joseph Flower of Redcliffe, Bristol. Since this photograph was taken another fragment has been mended to the original piece and indicates that the decoration in the base of the bowl was Chinese in character. Height: 1 ½ ins. approximately. London, Lambeth (?) c. 1750 [2006-28F4].

Fragments of another bowl of similar character were found in the same deposit. This technique of scratching the design through the cobalt occurs throughout the period 1730-1780, but the character of the overglaze decoration would suggest that this bowl belonged to the earlier part of this range. Rim diam: approximately 10 ins. English, probably Bristol. 1730-1760.: [2009-28F4].
• 8.Rim sherd of bowl with painted "chain" decoration in cobalt on interior close to plain rim. Although this fragment has no exterior decoration, other fragments of the same bowl possess a cobalt-painted floral design. English. Eighteenth century. [2011-28F4].

Two more lines encircle the sides of the bowl and another single line encloses a landscape design in the center of the bowl. The exterior of the plate is plain and there is no foot ring. Plates of similar shape and character of marly decoration were found at the Coke Garrett house in a deposit of 1740-1750 (2016-27A), on the site of Salters Hall in London in a deposit of c. 1710-1720, while other known examples bear the dates 1712, 1719 or portraits of George I (dating them between 1714 and 1727). Rim diam: 8 ins. London, probably Lambeth. 1710-1740. [2017-28F4].
• 14.Two rim and body sherds of bowl, decorated on exterior with cobalt-painted floral design covering most of the surface. There is a painted decoration close to the interior edge of the plain rim consisting of alternate wavy lines and a "Q"-like device. Rim diam: 8 ins. approximately. English, probably Bristol. 1740-1760. [2018-28F4].

The rim flares gently and the base is slightly recessed within a foot ring. A fragment of a similarly decorated cup was found on the adjoining Anthony Hay site (1894-ER200-28D) in a deposit of 1770-1780, although the date of manufacture probably precedes this by nearly two decades. Rim diam: 3 ins. Base diam: 1 3/8 ins. [1891-28F4].
• 3.Section of saucer with slightly flaring rim and base recessed within a square-cut foot ring. The exterior is plain as is the interior base. Close to the interior rim is a decoration in the "scratch blue" technique similar to that on cup no. 2 in this plate. Three incised circles enclose the plain central zone and on the outer of these at the place where the "tassels" hang down, there is an inverted V made up of nine vertical strokes. English. 1750-1770. [1892-28F4].
• 4.Small handleless cup; globular body, small foot, and plain rim. The interior of the cup is plain; a band of chevron decoration runs close to the exterior rim, below which, on opposing sides, is a crudely executed floral motif. A cup similar in shape, size and technique of decoration, found during excavations on the site of the Revolutionary British camp site at 20lst St. in New York City, is referred to in an article by R. P. Bolton in History Written with Pick and Shovel, 1950, p. 240, Fig. 5. It is interesting to note that that cup, which was probably made between 1755 and 1765, was still in use some two decades later. Fragments of similar cups were found on the adjoining Anthony Hay site (1892-ER237A-28D and 2192-ER237B-28D). English. 1755-1765. Height: 1 ½ ins. Rim diam: 3 ins. Base diam: 1 3/8 ins. [31-2BF4].
• 5.Base portion of saucer with "scratch blue" decoration in the form of a rouletted chevroned circle around a central plain zone, and on the wall a floral motif, only a small part of which survives. The foot ring is square cut. The technique of filling in the leaves and the flower portions of the design with diagonal lines seen on this piece is present also on the cup (31-28F4), and on fragments from the adjoining Anthony Hay site (1892-ER237A-28D and 2192-ER237B 28D). Diam of foot ring: 2 ¼ ins. c. 1760. [1896-28F4].
• 6.Rim fragment of a highly glossy cylindrical tankard of decadent "scratch blue" with exterior bands of incised cobalt below a plain rim. Probably from the same vessel as Nos. 7 and 10. Rim diam: 3 ins. English. c. 1770. [1897-28F4].
• 7.Portion of the base of a cylindrical, highly glossy tankard of decadent "scratch blue" with multiple incised, cobalt-filled bands, the base recessed within a narrow ring. Probably from the same vessels is Nos. 6 and 10. External base diam: 3 ins. English c. 1770. [1898-28F4].
• 8.Basal fragment of a cylindrical tankard of decadent "scratch blue" with cobalt-filled wide groove and ridge above a slightly rising base. This base is considerably more thinly potted than No. 7 and the plain interior of the tankard is more pitted. Base diam: 2 ¾ ins. English. c. 1770. [1899-28F4].
• 9.Upper section of molded, sprigged, oval, cobalt- blotched medallion attached to body of a cylindrical tankard of decadent "scratch blue" ornamented with the letters G R (George III) surmounted by a crown composed of beading. A medallion from the same mold was found during excavations of the site of the Semple House (2001-2Bl), though the casting is superior in quality to the Ravenscroft example. English. c 1770. [2002-28F4].
• 10.Portion of oval medallion, from a tankard of decadent "scratch blue" which was molded and sprigged to the center of the body. The quality of the molding of this piece is exceptionally poor, but it shows the initials G R (George III) flanking a crowned profile of the monarch, the space between the latter and the ridge which encircles the medallion being filled by a stylized spray of foliage. A small fragment possibly from the same mold was excavated on the adjoining Anthony Hay site (2193-ER23OF-28D). Probably part of same vessels as Nos. 6 and 7. English. c. 1770. [2194-28F4].

NOTTINGHAM, ASSOCIATED STONEWARES

• 11.Rim sherd of bowl with flaring plain rim with two incised grooves running below it. English, probably Nottingham. Second half of eighteenth century. [2058-28F4].
• 12.Base fragment of small, thinly potted tankard or mug with flat base, round foot ring with three incised grooves immediately above it. Base diam: 2 ins. English, probably Nottingham. 1725-1750. [2059-28F4].
• 13.Portion of strap handle of jug or large tankard with multiple reeding on upper surface and plain beneath. Width of handle: ¾ inch. English, probably Nottingham. [2060-28F4].
• 14.Portion of a poorly molded multi-reeded strap handle from tankard or jug. English, probably Nottingham. 1750-1770. [2061-28F4].

ENGINE-TURNED WARE

• 15.Flanged teapot lid of clear-glazed red ware with engine-turned shell-like decoration, and knob in form of a rudimentary acorn with vertical ribbing; the latter is pierced to act also as a steam hole. Height: 1 5/8 ins. Rim diam: 3 5/8 ins. Collar diam: 2 ¾ ins. English. Eighteenth century, possibly prior to 1780. [2055-28F4].

BLACK GLAZED COARSE WARE

RED DRY BODY

• 17.Hexagonal teapot spout of red dry body molded in pseudo-Chinese motif. The spout has been luted to a pre-molded hexagonal (?) body panel-molded with a design incorporating a "Greek key" pattern. (see English Ceramic Circle, Transactions No. 2, 1934, Pl. IVa.) English. Late-seventeenth-early-eighteenth century. [2057-28F4].

AGATE-WARE

• 18.Four fragments of tankard of agate-ware of red-brown and light cream color. The plain rim has a light strip around it, while there is a patch of' similar clay applied to the highest point of the triple-reeded strap handle. The lower end of the latter is luted to the body and then upturned and punched in the manner typical of white salt-glazed tankards. The base is ridged just above the foot, recessed within a ring and unglazed. Four additional body fragments were not photographed. English, probably Staffordshire. [1290-28F4].

WHIELDON-WEDGWOOD WARES

• 19.Rim sherd of vertical-sided bowl with a creamware body, clear-glazed on the interior, but vertical striped with yellow and green and the surface rouletted below three grooves immediately under the slightly rolled rim. This type of ware, known as "melon" pattern, was manufactured first by Wedgwood in the period 1759-1764. Two other body fragments of this vessel are present in this group. English, Staffordshire. [1229a-28F4].
• 20.Small portion of mold-made tea-or coffee pot handle of green-glazed earthenware with relief leaf molding on exterior. The interior is plain except for a vertical groove close to each edge. English. 1759-1765. [127la-28F4].
• 21, 22.Two fragments of mold-made, flanged-necked teapot of creamware body, plain on the interior, but with exterior molding of horizontal bands of vertical ribbing displaced on the center of either side by a group of fruit and leaves in high relief. The body is blotched with manganese while the "fruit" areas are green and yellow. A teapot perhaps from the same mold, now in the Schrieber collection, is illustrated on Plate 10 of Wedgwood Ware by W. B. Honey, London, 1956, but is enamelled salt-glaze. This may be the fruit pattern referred to in an advertisement in the Boston News-Letter for November 28, 1771. English, Staffordshire. 1765-1770. [1241-28F4 and 1266-28F4].
• 23.Small marly fragment of mold-made wavy-edged plate with creamware body and mottled manganese (tortoiseshell) glaze. The portion of design is of the "basket" type found also on white salt-glazed stoneware plates. English, Staffordshire. c. 1760. [1199-28F4].
• 24.Rim sherd of small bowl with flaring rim and ware body, mottled on the interior with copper-oxide and on the exterior additionally with manganese. English, Staffordshire. 1750-1765. [1217-28F4].

Plate XII

CREAMWARE (Cont.)

• 1.Portion of teapot, cylindrical with base recessed within a wide foot ring. Traces of the handle suggest that it was of the strap variety with a narrow groove close to either edge. There is an all-round hand-painted decoration of landscapes with houses, fences and trees, in a palette of red, yellow, green, black and dark pink. The techniques and palette employed in the decoration suggest that this was performed in the workshop of David Rhoads sometime between 1768 and 1777. The shape of the teapot would suggest a date towards the end of this period. A base fragment of a shallow bowl or dish found on the adjoining Anthony Hay site bears a hand-painted decoration of the same technique and palette. (2199-ER273-28D). Four other fragments found at other sites in Williamsburg also have a similar origin, (1051-2Bl 1073-13B, 1094-17F, 1079-17C). Existing height: 4 ¼, ins. Diam: 5 ins. English. [1819-28F4].

• 3. Banded mug, waisted above foot ring and then in curving towards rim which flares slightly. There are simple bands of diagonal "bead and reel" molding on the exterior of the foot ring and rim. The multi-reeded, double intertwined strap handles have floral terminals with clusters of berries, a characteristic of produces of the Leeds Pottery in the years prior to 1775. Height: 5 ¼ ins. Rim diam: 3 1/8 ins. [1823-28F4].

Plate XIII

CREAMWARE (Cont.)

• 1.Base of globular bowl of deep cream color with rouletting on exterior edge of foot ring, square cutting on bottom of the latter within which the base is recessed. Over the foot ring is a smooth waisted zone, above which the fluted body outcurves before it is superceded by a plain zone which inclines more vertically. Base diam: 3 ins. English. c. 1775. [1807-28F4].
• 2.Plain loop handle pulled out at base, top missing. English 1760-1780. [1808-28F4].

• 9.Portion of small straight spout, possibly from infant feeding bottle. Diam of hole at narrower point: 3/8 inch. English. 1760-1780. [1815-28F4].
• 10.Portion of straight-sided tankard with banded sides and bands of diagonal "bead and reel" molding at exterior of rim and foot ring. The latter is rounded and the base is recessed. The handles would seem to have been double, and intertwined with a single leaf terminal as in Towner, English Cream Coloured Earthenware, 1958, Fig. IV, No. 6, which is attributed to the period c. 1770 and a product only of the Wedgwood factory. [18l6-28F4].
• 11.Section of small straight-sided dish with square-cut rim and foot ring around each of which rums a band of pearl beading. Between these bands and almost filling the, space is vertical fluting. Height: 2 ins. Diam: 3 ½ ins. English. 1775-1780. [1817-28F4].
• 12.Three fragments of mold-made sauce-boat with "feather" edge around all the rim except under the blunt spout where it is replaced by a leaf design. The foot is missing, but above it is a zone of gadrooning with a plain area between that and the "feather" edge. The vessel has double intertwined, round-sectioned, twisted handles with floral terminals which appear to have their origin at the Leeds Pottery (note presence of the berry between the leaves) in the period prior to 1775. English. [1818A-28F4].

CREAMWARE, ENAMELLED

• 13.Flanged teapot lid with only slight convexity and round knop which is pierced. Hand-painted floral decoration in pink, black, red and green.

• 8.

  Base of small cup with undercut foot ring and hand-painted blue exterior decoration. While the Victoria and Albert Museum originally attributed this fragment to the Worcester factory, the same authority later gave the undercut foot ring as a characteristic of Liverpool porcelain. 1756-1780. [1653-28F4].

  Rim sherd of small cup with slightly flaring rim. There is a single band of diaper design close to the interior rim, while the exterior has a design of a band of leaves.

Close to the interior rim is a band of hand-painted overglaze decoration of a floral nature executed in a palette of red, green and crimson as is the floral spray in the center of the bowl. At the point where the sides begin to outcurve is a solid wavy red line and a dotted line of the same color. Height: 1 5/16 ins. Rim diam: 5 3/8 ins. Base diam: 3 ¼ ins. Last decade of the eighteenth century. [2204-28F4].
• 15.Base fragment of plate, plain on exterior and with hand-painted overglaze design on interior showing one of the armorial supporters from the coat of arms of Lord Dunmore, the last Royal Governor of Virginia, who doubtless used the plate during his residence at the Palace 26 September, 1771 - 8 June, 1775. This and other excavated plates from the same service would seem by comparison with armorial and other examples to have been made in the period 1750-1760, before Lord Dunmore became governor of Virginia. Most of his personal effects in the Palace were auctioned in Williamsburg shortly before October 1776, and this may account for the wide distribution of plates from this set. Identifiable fragments have been found on the site of the Palace (5-20A20, 9-20A20), on the site of the Prentis House (7-17D1), the Russell House (8-17D3) and the Anthony Hay site (2039-ER191-28D). 1750-1760. [2040-28F4].
• 16.Portion of base of plate, plain on exterior with no foot ring, but recessed base and shallow bowl. The center of the interior of the bowl has a hand-painted overglaze floral design executed in a palette of pink, green and white with black used for the outlines; at the point where the sides begin to curve upwards is a circle of the gold-filled red-outlined spear-head decoration frequently found on Chinese porcelain of the period 1740-1760. The marly has an overglaze floral decoration in pink and green. c. 1740-1760. [2041-28F4].
• 17.Two rim sherds of small cup with straight sides, flaring rim decorated on the interior with an over glaze hand-painted band of black diagonal crosses on a green field, and enclosed by black lines. On the exterior is a hand-painted overglaze design of Oriental trees, houses and a pagoda executed in a palette of green, black, pink and gold. The handle, of which only its upper junction with the body remains, is round in section. Possibly Chinese (?) Eighteenth century. [2042-28F4].
• 18.Two rim fragments of thin vessel, possibly a vase with sloping sides and plain rim recessed on interior as though to take a lid. The exterior has an overglaze, hand-painted decoration of trees and Oriental-type huts and a narrow band close to the rim of black cross hatching on a green ground. Eighteenth century. [2043-28F4].
• 19.Base fragment of cup or small bowl with foot ring, recessed base, and sides which outcurve rapidly for a short distance and then become more vertical in character. The interior is plain but the exterior has an overglaze hand-painted design of a landscape with the forefeet of a pair of horses, and rocks, executed in a palette of yellow, brown, and black. Eighteenth century. [2044-28F4].
• 20.Marly and bowl fragment of a plate, plain on exterior and with an overglaze hand-painted marly design of two long scrolls against a background of scroll ends; the latter design also appears in the bowl area of the second fragment which also has a portion of a marly design which is unidentifiable. The palette used in the designs includes green, red, yellow, gold, pink, and white. Eighteenth century. [2045-28F4].
• 21.Portion of small straight-sided cup or bowl molded so as to resemble an opening lotus bud on exterior surface and with raised "petals" colored in a deep rose-brown shade with the area above the latter a pale yellow green. The interior is plain except for a narrow band close to the rim which is recessed as though to accommodate a lid and covered with a hand-painted gold design of crosses between lines. Date uncertain. [2046-28F4].
• 22.Portion of center of base of saucer or plate, plain on exterior and with underglazed blue circle surrounding a similarly executed resette, to which decoration hand-painted overglaze red petals and small leaves were added. Outside the blue circle are small traces of other overglaze red painting. Eighteenth century. [2047-28F4].
• 23.Small fragment of the base and foot ring of saucer with underglaze blue hand-painted floral designs to which hand-painted overglaze red and gilt additions have been made. Eighteenth century. [2048-28F4].

Plates XIX and XIXA

Base and top fragments of tall clear glass vessel known in the eighteenth century as a bird bottle or bird fountain. The round base with its high kick has been pushed out of shape by the drawing out at one side of a small rectangular trough. The rim of the trough is strengthened by an applied trail. The body is conical and topped by a molded female head to which a "cocked hat" has been applied. Virtually complete examples have been found during excavations in London (Catalogue of the Collection of London Antiquities in the Guildhall Museum, London, 1908, p. 163) [Plate XIXA] and during the restoration of Goodwood House in Sussex in 1959. Thomas Rowland son's drawing entitled "The Tax Gatherer" engraved in 1799 shows one in use on a bird cage.

Plate XX
Beverage-Bottles

Beverage bottles, both complete and fragmentary, were found in great quantity on the site. Aside from some two dozen complete or nearly complete bottles, there are base, body and neck fragments of many more. The types of bottles seem to fall into four major groups when dated in accordance with Ivor Noël Hume's paper "The Glass Wine Bottle in Colonial Virginia" published in The Journal of Glass Studies, vol. 111, 1961.

Group I: The bottles in this group are those which date from the opening of the eighteenth century until the 1720's. This includes about 31% (calculated from the number of bases or base fragments) of those found on the site. These bottles were generally squat-bodied with broad bases. The kick varies from slight to fairly pronounced. The shoulders are weak, and the necks are rather broad, becoming somewhat taller toward the end of the period. The bottles are of an olive-green metal and vary in the amount of decay. (one of the base fragments in this group appears to be that of a Dutch bottle.)

Group II: This group ranges in date from the 1720's to the 1740's and includes only 3% of those found on the site. These bottles vary a good deal in shape, having bodies that could be called neither squat nor cylindrical, and that sometimes are concave in profile. They have a pronounced kick, shoulders with varying degrees of slope, and necks of varying heights. The metal of these bottles is olive-green.

Group III: These bottles date from the 1740's to the 1780's and include some 60% of those found on the site. These bottles are cylindrical, usually with a pronounced kick, more or less angular shoulders, and varying neck heights. The color of the metal varies: bright green, olive-green or amber.

Group IV: This group, about 6% of those found on the site, consists of octagonal bottles bearing the seal: "Jno. Greenhow Wmsburg 1770" or "John Greenhow Williamsburg" (the "a" retrograde). These were bottles used by John Greenhow, a prosperous Williamsburg merchant and landowner, who died in 1787 and was buried in Bruton churchyard.

• 1.Beverage bottle of the short, cylindrical type with pronounced conical kick, an angular shoulder, and neck slightly shorter than the body height. The lip is slightly everted above a down-tooled string-rim and is damaged, and the olive-green metal is slightly marred by decay. Capacity: 26 oz. Height: 7 ½ ins. Base diam: 4 ½ ins. c. 1740-1760. [111-28F4].
• 2.Beverage bottle (undamaged.) It is cylindrical, with a pronounced conical kick, a weak shoulder, and a neck slightly constricted by the string-rim, while the lip thickens at one side and is down-tooled. The deep amber metal contains small pieces of white grit. Capacity: 20 oz. Height: 8 ins. Base diam: 4 3/8 ins. c. 1740-1770. [109-28F4].
• 3.Beverage bottle (undamaged). It is cylindrical, with a high conical kick, a weak shoulder, and a tall neck pinched below the thin string-rim. The olive-green metal is much decayed. Capacity: 27 oz. Height: 9 5/16 ins. Base diam: 3 1/8 ins. 1750-1770. [122-28F4].
• 4.Beverage bottle (restored), octagonal body with a slight kick, broad shoulder, short neck pinched at the string-rim, and an everted lip. The metal is olive-green, It bears a seal: "Jno. Greenhow Wms.burg 1770." (Cf. bottles 124-28F4, 126-129-28F4.) Height: 8 ¼ ins. Base diam: 4 ins. c. 1770. [125-28F4].
• 5.Beverage bottle (incomplete), cylindrical body with a medium domed kick, an angular shoulder, and a narrow cylindrical neck. The lip and string-rim are missing and the olive-green metal is slightly yellowed by decay. It bears a seal: "John Greenhow Williamsburg" (the "a" retrograde). Existing height: 9 ¾ ins. Base diam: 3 7/8 ins. c. 1770. [123-28F4].

Plate XXII

Fragmentary brass candlestick, with a variety of formations on the shaft. The socket is cylindrical with pronounced cordons at the base and a thin flange at the top. The next and largest feature is a wide angular knop, doubly cushioned above, and faceted octagonally on the upper surface, the facets being alternately large and small, and scalloped on the edge of the knop. The straight shaft continues for a short distance, to be interrupted by a cordon, below which is a slightly angular knop. The shaft terminates in a slight swelling and spreads out into a base, which is slightly saucered. The base of this candlestick is a reconstruction cast from another in the Archaeological Study Collection (2249-4A), which has a similar saucer-like appearance and a comparable stem formation. The object was made in three parts: the shaft in two halves, vertically brazed and the socketed base attached separately. Overall height: 7 ¾ ins. Width of existing foot ring: 2 1/16 ins. English. 1730-1740. [1310-28F4].
