With a biconical body and straight neck with throwing rings, applied with a simple loop handle, the upper body and shoulder with traces of a mottled glaze, 17.6cm high

Footnotes

Provenance
Graham Slater Collection

The distinct type of medieval pottery known as 'Cheam ware' is part of the broader tradition of 'Surrey white ware', so called because the clay used becomes whitish when fired. The biconical shape was a standard form made by the many pottery kilns in and around Cheam, using clay dug from pits behind Cheam church and within Seears Park.
