Various, SURREY/HAMPSHIRE BORDER
This ware was produced on the Hampshire/Surrey border. Three white ware producing industries are known in this area; Kingston type ware; Coarse Border ware and Cheam white ware. Tudor Green is probably a minor product of all three industries. This ware is regularly found in 15th and 16th century contexts in the west of England where the typical assemblage is made up of cups with the occasional jug and chafing dish.
