Figure 1  Mug, or gorge, attributed to John Dwight, Fulham, ca. 1675. Salt-glazed stoneware. H. 4". (All objects from the James Glenn Collection; photos, Gavin Ashworth.) This early example from John Dwight’s stoneware manufactory in Fulham can be tightly dated by the manganese slip wash and the distinctive “rat-tail” terminal attachment of the handle. Dwight’s patent of 1684 uses the term “gorge” to describe this globular mug form. Early examples of Dwight’s stoneware production have been recovered from seventeenth-century American archaeological sites.
