Ipswich ware

Ipswich ware is a type of Anglo-Saxon pottery produced in Britain between the eighth and ninth centuries AD.

Ipswich ware was distributed primarily in eastern Britain, but was also traded in smaller numbers from Kent north to York and west to Oxfordshire.

Ipswich ware was produced in a small variety of forms, primarily jars with rounded bodies and upright rims, hanging vessels, cooking pots and more infrequently, large bottles and decorated pitchers.

Manufactured from the early eighth to the ninth centuries AD, it was distributed widely in East Anglia and eastern Cambridgeshire.

It was also determined that Ipswich pottery was made by first coiling the raw material and then finishing objects on a slow-wheel and firing in a kiln.
