Jonathan Horne, March 1983, illustrated in his catalogue, A Collection of Early English Pottery, Part III, no.54
Graham Slater Collection
Chargers of this type were of particular interest to Ivor Noel Hume who discussed these at length in his book Early English Delftware from London and Virginia, pp.45-48. These have been designated as the 'Daisy' pattern with a Wanli style border. An example was excavated at Kingsmill plantation in Virginia where it had been broken by an early settler. Graham Slater was interested to note that the clay used for his dish contains red inclusions similar to kiln waste he found in the Thames close to Southwark, confirming an attribution to the Pickleherring pothouse. For other fragments from identical chargers excavated on the Pickleherring site, see Tyler, Betts and Stephenson, London's Delftware Industry (2008), p.42, figs.P12-13.
