| Summary: | Tin-glazed or 'delftware' manufacture began in London at Aldgate (from c.1750), and ceased at Glasshouse Street in Lambeth in 1846. In the decades following the closure of the Aldgate pothouse in c.1615 or c.1620 tin-glazed ware manufacturies opened in London with increasing frequency, and with a strong presence south of the River Thames. This publication combines documentary evidence with that from archaeological interventions (1979-92) at five tin-glazed ware production sites on the south bank of the Thames - the Montague Close, Pickleherring and Rotherhithe pothouses in Southwark, and the Norfolk House and Glasshouse Street pothouses in Lambeth - and discusses the tin-glazed pottery industries of Southwark and Lambeth in a wider context. |
