Pingsdorf-type ware was produced at different sites in the Rhineland from the 10th to the 12th centuries. It was one of the first Rhenish wares to be exported in large quantities, not only to northern parts of Germany and the Netherlands, but also to England and Scandinavia. research has concentrated on the dating of Pingsdorf-type ware in general, without providing a general view of the typology. This paper, based on published material only, attempts to describe the different forms produced in Pingsdorf-type ware.
