Huntcliff ware
Appearance
Huntcliff ware or more correctly 'Huntcliff-type' is a type of ceramic. It is a distinctive variety of calcite-gritted ware jar with a curved, everted rim with lid-seated groove, made in East Yorkshire from around AD 360 to the 5th century AD. The fabric is black or dark brown, with hand-made bodies and a rim finished on a potter's wheel. The term Huntcliff-type refers to the report[1] in which this type was first recognised as a type probably not in production before AD 360.
