Fort Caroline was a French Hugenot settlement established in Florida in 1564. Rare Book Room, Library of Congress. the gravel-tempered ware occasionally is found with a plain coating- of slip, which, under the glaze, has the same yellow color as the sgraffito ware, while an un- decorated variant of the sgraffito ware also occurs with a similar plain slip. All these wares, including the ovens, are interre- lated—the specimens found in America having been shipped in a busy North Devon-North American trade. The North Devon towns, moreover, were an important pottery-making center for export markets in the West of England, Ireland, and North America. Thousands of parcels of earthenware were shipped to the Ameri- can colonies from Bideford and Barnstaple during the 17th century. Any doubts that ovens were among these overseas shipments are dispelled by the knowl- edge that they continually were being shipped in the English coastwise trade, and also by intrinsic and comparative evidence that o\en sherds found on American sites are of North Devon origin. The only known counterparts of the North Devon ovens are Continental. A 15th-century example ap- pears in an Augsburg woodcut, and a 16th-century specimen is depicted in De Bry's engra\ing after Le Moyne's painting of Fort Caroline, the Huguenot settlement in Florida. There are many suggestions of Huguenot and Low Country influences on North Devon pottery. Bideford and Barnstaple both were Puritan strongholds in the 17th century, and both became Freiich Huguenot centers, especially after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. The style of sgraffito decoration changed radically after about 1700. After that date, decoration was confined mainly to harvest jugs and presentation pieces. Gravel-tempered utensils and ovens cont
