Right now, I've got a large stock of Anglo-Saxon and Viking pottery for sale, all of it dating between the 9th and 11th centuries. I've included a few sample pictures below, but I've put most of it on a website that I've been developing: www.andrewwelton.com/pottery (it will have its own .com set up soon.)
I'll be going live with this on the Armour Archive next week (where pottery usually sells pretty quickly), but I wanted to share it with you first to give you first pick, in case any of you were interested in anything.
Everything is handmade by myself, and glazed with modern foodsafe glazes that imitate the colors of the original pottery (which was either unglazed or glazed with lead). Everything is microwave and dishwasher safe, and made from a sturdy stoneware clay.
I've done my best, on my website, to explain the research that went into each piece: where it came from and what sources I relied upon for my recreations. I'm happy to answer any further questions about my research and the accuracy of my recreations, if you'd like to know more.
Because I'm a hobbiest potter, I can only make stock for sale in my free time. Most of that free time is in the summer, so my current inventory is only here until it sells; I might not be able to restock until after next Ragnarok, though I'll try to replace some stock as it sells (but I can't make any promises!). Ie, if you see something you like, it's best not to wait too long.
Here's a teaser for what I've put up on my website:
Birka Pitchers (9th-10th c.)
(See all the Birka pitchers that I have in stock here)
Anglo-Saxon pitchers (10-11th c.)
(See all the Anglo-Saxon pitchers I have in stock here)
Miscelaneous!
Viking cups
More Viking cups
Brown plate
Anglo-Saxon cups
Anglo-Saxon bowl
Anglo-Saxon oil lamps
Large Anglo-Saxon serving dish
(See all my stock here)
