| Abstract: |
The author considers some aspects of English medieval anthropomorphic pottery, with the aim of focusing attention on the non-functional aspects of medieval pottery which tend to be overlooked in favour of other aspects of fabric, form and decoration. The paper is intended to be speculative, raising more questions than it answers. It draws on data from Yorkshire, Derbyshire and the counties of northeast England between the later-eleventh century and approximately 1450 AD. The author has previously drawn attention to the distinctions between sandy wares and gritty wares in Yorkshire and suggested that these distinctions had greater significance than that of simple functionality (Cumberpatch 1997). In particular it was suggested that glaze is used primarily as a decorative device for most of the medieval period rather than as a means of rendering pots less porous. Glaze appears preferentially on sandy ware vessels such as jugs, pipkins and dripping trays and it is these vessels, and specifically jugs, that are dealt with in this paper. |
