Description
A Grimston ware jug from British Museum, decorated with scales and a glaze that only covers about half of the body. The face jug was donated by Sir Augustus Wollaston Franks. Pottery vessels were made from clays collected along streams or on hillsides. Sand, crushed stone, ground mussel shell, crushed fired clay, or plant fibers were added to prevent shrinkage and cracking during firing and drying. Prehistoric pots were made by several methods: coiling, paddling, or pinching and shaping.
