Applied strips and stamping

An the case of an example from the kiln site at Hanley Swan these impressions were were made by the end of a cow toe bone (Hurst 1994, fig 6). More rarely, applied strips are seen around the bunghole. A large number of this form have simple stamps on the handles very similar to those seen on Malvernian roof tiles.
