Context (Amendments / updates)
The Place and Production fields have been updated to reflect where Reverend Rowland Veale was born as stamped on the pot (Gwithian, Cornwall), and where he studied (Oxford) around 1778, the year stamped on the pot. Since it is uncertain where it was produced or found, they have both been queried.
