Abstract:		 This article describes in detail a redware ceramic bird nesting pot. This unusual form of vessel which was in use over a long period of time between 1527 the earliest known and 1842 the last known record of one being made, occurs mainly in London where over 60 have so far been identified. Its purpose was to enable sparrows to breed so that the fledglings could be taken via a hole in the base of the vessel. Although previously considered to be of Dutch origin, all the London vessels were made locally. As well as sherds found in excavations, the vessels are well attested to in contemporary literature and paintings.
