Graham Slater Collection
A Museum of London excavation in Norwich found a near-complete mug of similar shape with identical decoration. Graham Slater discussed this significant find with Michael Archer who agreed with a London attribution for Professor Garner's mug. Curiously, two other vessels- a bottle and a barrel-shaped mug- with the same distinctive pattern were recovered from the rear of an apothecary shop in London Street in Norwich, published in East Anglian Archaeology Report no.13, 1981, figs. 1501 and 1512. While delftware was first made in England by potters who settled in Norwich, they had moved to London by the time this mug was made early in the 17th century.
