Figure 16 Pitcher fragment, attributed to the Leeds Pottery, ca. 1805-1807. Pearlware. The enameled lines that separate panels with molded relief decoration of the Great Seal are in the style of the Castleford Pottery, but the molded border on the pannels is identical to a Leeds sucrier in feldspathic stoneware. This fragment was found in a well behin the workshop of James Green, cabinetmaker, which stood in the interior of the square bounded by Fairdax, Prince, Royal, and King Streets and near the intersection of Royal and King Streets. The sherd was in a deposit relating to a fire in 1823 but probably had reached Alexandria before the Embargo of 1807.
