For the pottery minded among us (sorry that the alignment doesn't look very nice, cut and paste doesn't work well apparently with my web-based email)
>From my library, these are the pottery references that really are worth the read. Several of the volumes discussed pottery, but not types/shapes/compostion...really only dealing with pottery as a trade item.

    A.J. Mainman

    London
    1993
    ISBN: 1-872414-31-1

    description of forms and composition with good illustrations.

    York

The Archaeology of York: Anglian York, 7/2, Anglian York: A Survey of the Evidence
    D. Tweddle, J. Moulden and E. Logan

    York
    1999
    ISBN: 1-902771-06-0
    *** Fair descriptions of composition. About 10 good illustrations of inscribed designs.
     Early period in Regia...be careful of too early.
Wikinger Museum Haithabu: Schaufenster einer fruhen Stadt
    Hildegard Elsner
    Karl Wachholtz Verlag
    Neumunster
    (This is the guidebook for the Hedeby museum in Germany. The text is in German, and 
   there is no publication date or ISBN. It was purchased in the early '90's.)
    *** Few pictures of the Hedeby finds. (If you can get a hold of this volume, it is very detailed
    on quite a number of items.)
Jorvik Viking Centre Information Pack
    (This is a booklet from the JVC, and if there was a publisher, date, or ISBN, it has since 
    been lost by me. It dates from approximately the mid-'80's.)
    *** Good description on pottery production in simple, easy to understand language. Has
    two good pictures (detailed) of domestic items and also of a couple of crucible in the
    write-up on metalworking in Jorvik.
Hope this helps.
