 This painted Badorf Ware is divided into a group of Hunenschans Ware which is decorated by use of a roller handstamp and partly features a fine-sand temper, and a second group of late Carolingina Ware with red finger stroke painting which still exhibits a chalky surface.The Pingsdorf Ware represents a further development of the painted Badorf Ware which becomes established as an independent group from the late 9th century.It is characterised by a sandpaperlike surface which was achieved by its temper with fine sand.
