Among the interesting objects of this hoard there is a two-handled cooking pot with partial internal and external clear glaze. These late medieval potteries (circa 1490-1510) were often imported to England from the Low Countries. If in the high medieval period French potteries remained the most common Continental import, in the late Medieval Age the products of France, the Low Countries, the Rhineland and the Iberian Peninsula occurred in roughly equal proportions. -
