You might get ideas by contacting the nearest chapter of the Society
for Creative Anachronism--they're into medieval stuff big time!

A ceramic teacher I know had her students pick a pot shape from
medieval examples and then asked them to try and duplicate it. Could be
done by coils or slabs. Could also be small.

as a member of the SCA, I would be very interested in where the teacher
got her information on medieval pottery... many SCAdians are VERY big on
documentation...

Actually, the documentation is very easy, if you have access to any books on
the great painters of the era in question. I once had a friend who admired
the multi-handled mugs
and jugs shown in paintings by Pieter Brueghel (1525-1569, Flemish). At his
wifes request,
I studied them , and made him a pretty fair reproduction, for his beer Two
handles are sometimes handy

Bill- contemplating a new sample from a micro-brewery, in a container with
NO handles, safely parked on Persimmon Hill

Several years ago a friend who is a member of SCA gave me a pamphlet
published by the SCA, I believe. Several of the items shown would be
appropriate for young people...game pieces and tops. The following is
from the cover of my pamphlet:
"The Compleat Anachronist"
A Pamphlet Series
#55
"A Primer on Period Pottery"
by Siobhan ni Ryan of Brielle

Office of the Registry

Hope this helps.
