English medieval pottery was produced in Britain from the sixth to the late fifteenth centuries AD.
Pottery forms were common items used for cooking and storage, and were undecorated or decorated simply with incised lines.
By the late ninth century, potters in urban areas started to mass-produce their products.
During the tenth century, potters began transitioning to a fast wheel and firing pots in kilns.
From the thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries, glazed and slip pottery appeared more frequently in the marketplace, along with new fabric colours and decorations, and a large number of new forms.
