Publication of a New Kingdom ovoid bottle in the World Museum (National Museums Liverpool) from Gurob, originally found by Petrie and later obtained by F. G. Hilton-Price and H. S. Wellcome. The fabric and stylistic parallels of the vessel as well as its collection history and archaeological context is investigated in an attempt to highlight the degree of information available by exploring traditionally less noteworthy pieces in museum collections. A function of the vessel is suggested on the basis of context, parallels and shape.

This study examines Egyptian ceramic production in the Eastern Delta, particularly several vessels manufactured in marl fabrics attributed to Marl F found at Tell el Ghaba, a Saite settlement on the eastern border. A characterisation of TG 12, TG 14, and TG 55/60 fabrics performed under binocular lens is presented, as well as a description of their morphological and decorative repertoire. It is suggested that these sandy fabrics can be closely tied to the Marl F group, as they reflect a technological tradition in pottery production typical of the Eastern Delta and North Sinai that may have persisted from the Second Intermediate Period until at least the Saite period. The fabric typology shows the production of local shapes, along with imitations of imported vessels from the Levant and Cyprus different from those previously recognised in older sites.
