This pattern may have been made elsewhere, including in Friesland, but the close resemblance between the whole tile and the group of small tile fragments from the site, indicate that this tile was almost certainly from the Wincanton factory. Alongside, the tile, these few fragments usefully illustrate the importance of archaeology in the attribution of delftware. The donor of this tile was involved in various excavations at the site of WIncanton pottery, including investigating the site of the kiln. During one visit, he witnessed a friend of his (Alison Nugus), who owned a property on the site of Ireson House (the Wincanton kiln site) excavate these fragments while planting a tree, about ten metres from where the kiln had been discovered previously. Ms Nugus gifted these fragments to the donor in 2007 (for details of this excavation, see Documentation 2008). In 2008, the donor purchased the complete tile from dealer, Roger Little. It may have been one of those excavated from the site of Wincanton pottery by archaeologist W. J. Pountney in 1916/17 (other ceramic fragments discovered by Pountney are in the collections of British Museum and V&A) and therefore although not marked, was firmly attributed to Wincanton based on proximity to the kiln site. reference term-106451 adlib-term-106451 9cdfd62c-ee07-3884-ae08-c797aad08631 18th Century, Mid reference term-107736 adlib-term-107736 e93a8dd1-d76d-320b-be9b-afa352e322a1 George II reference term-116873 adlib-term-116873 7e8fccf4-1111-37b6-83f4-e38f95dd74aa literal England England country literal Somerset Somerset region Wincanton pale buff reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware reference term-39575 adlib-term-39575 cdf6707a-1eeb-3622-a26b-6e54f1f8d4ab tin-glaze reference term-30982 adlib-term-30982 952a2227-ce0e-31a3-a0d9-40085991be5b tile reference term-110002 adlib-term-110002 ebb4a3e3-f205-389c-9cd1-ccd3a2bff3f8 tile fragment sherd history note The donor witnessed the excavation of the fragments approximately ten metres from the site of the kiln on the site of the Wincanton Pottery.
