Abstract (en)

Before ca.1450 Saintonge wares form the bulk of the material, most plentifully at Plymouth, where there is also a scatter of Iberian imports. Plymouth retains this distinctive orientation into the early 16th c., when Exeter rapidly becomes a major stoneware market. Argues that most pottery imports were regarded as quite low-value cargoes, and that the years around 1500 saw a marked development of chains of redistribution in the local ceramics market.
