About

Laverstock ware is a type of pottery produced from the 11th to the 14th centuries near the settlement of Laverstock in Wiltshire, England. The products were distributed widely throughout southern England, including London. In modern archaeology the unique characteristics of recovered pieces allow for secure identification, thus providing dating evidence for the sites under investigation and insights into trade and transport patterns of the era. The Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum considers its collection to be of outstanding importance.
