This paper comprises a general introduction to the most common imported wares found in the area of Bruges, and a discussion of a particular class of highly decorated pottery thought to come from ‘northern3 France, possibly Picardy. The latter includes a note on some of the problems which have arisen during the study of this ware (notably the definition of the area, the lack of published material, and the poor understanding of production centres). The distribution, date and possible origin of this imported ware are considered, together with its effect on the local market and pottery industry.
