There are numerous other types of coarse stoneware of unknown origins, including one sherd with a dull- red glaze and black decorative spots (USNM , ill. 23). 'E STONEWARE.—Several sherds of stoneware of the type usually ascribed to Nottingham 132 appeared at Marlborough. This ware is character- ized by a smooth, lustrous, metallic-brown glaze. The fragments are apparently from different vessels. One is a foot rim of a posset pot or jug. Several body sherds have fluting or paneling formed by molding, with turning lines on the interior showing that the molding was executed after the forms were shaped. One sherd is decorated with shredded clay applied before firing when the clay was wet. It appears to come from the globose portion of a small drinking.
