London was supplied with cheap household crockery from potteries which sprung up wherever suitable clay was to be found. Soft red clay pots decorated with white slip came from Harlow, while hard white mugs, pipkins and chafing dishes, usually with a lead glaze stained green with copper, were made by potteries on the Surrey-Hampshire borders.
