Manufacture: Wheel-turned, with templates used to shape collars of jugs
and to shape edges and sometimes ridges where plate rims join bezels.
Temper: Fine, almost microscopic, water-worn sand particles.
Texture: Fine, smooth, well-mixed, sharp, regular cleavage.
Color: Dull pinkish red, with gray core usual.
Firing: Two firings, one before glazing and one after. Usually incomplete
oxidation, shown by gray core. A few specimens have surface breaks or
flakings incurred in the firing and most show warping (suggesting that
"rejects," unsalable in England, were sent to the colonists, who had no
recourse but to accept them).
