Wheel-thrown

In the first half of the 16th century, the vessels have a glossy grey glaze with patches of brown. In the second half of the 16th century, an overall brown glaze is more common (Hurst et al 1986, 194). Vessels can be decorated with incised and applied designs.

Raeren/Aachen, BELGIUM
Stoneware vessels were produced in the Raeren/Aachen area of modern Belgium from about 1450 to the early 17th century. There was a great increase in production at the end of the 15th century which continued into the 16th century and at this period they were exported into Britain in such quantities that they are found on most sites (Gaimster 1997, 225). Small numbers of these vessels have been found on many sites in Worcestershire.

Medieval to Post Medieval (Late 15th to 16th century)
Raeren/Aachen stoneware is most common in Worcestershire from the late 15th to the early 16th century, although later 16th century vessels have been found.
