Archaeology — C. 1638-1684
Plate wasters
Stack of tin-glazed earthenware plates with rim bosses, which have fused together during firing. There are trivets (used to separate and support the ware during firing) which are stuck firmly in between each plate. The kiln had over-heated with disastrous results. Excavated from the remains of the Rotherhithe pothouse, Southwark. Reference: Tyler. K, Betts, I. & Stephenson, R. (2008): London's Delftware Industry, MoLAS Monograph 10, pg. 67, fig. 88).
