. Bulletin - United States National Museum. Science. Figure 12.—An incomplete sagger and lid for quart tankards, with a Swan Tavern pint mug seated in it. Found at Yorktown. is a group of pipkins (fig. 13, no. 7). These were often overburned and improperly salted, turning the body a greenish gray and the iron-oxide slip to a coarse brown mottling with a similar greenish hue. The bodies of these vessels are generally bag-shaped and are broader toward the base than at the rim, which is slightly everted and tooled into a rounded lip over a cordon of comparable width. The handles were made separately in solid rolls that were pierced longitudi- nally with a stick or metal rod to avoid warping in firing or heat retention in use. They possess pestlelike terminals that were luted to the body after shaping. No definite evidence has yet been found to identify these vessels as Yorktown products, but they do exhibit color characteristics, particularly when over- fired, comparable to those of one of the Coke hemi- spherical bowls as well as to some of the tankard fragments.
