	abstract = {<p>The Rockingham Inn, ten kilometres north of Halifax, was initially built as part of a barracks complex erected in 1796, but was later converted to an inn that was home to the Rockingham Club, an elite men\&$\#$39;s club whose members included many of Halifax\&$\#$39;s most prominent citizens. After the demise of the Club in 1814, the inn continued to serve the local community until its destruction by fire in 1833. A fragment from a chocolate mug recovered from the Rockingham Inn site has the composition of true (hard-paste) porcelain. Compositionally, the body of this object most closely resembles the true porcelain manufactured at the Caughley (c.l795- 1799)/Coalport (c.1799-1837) and Plymouth (c.l768-1770)/Bristol (c.1770-1781) works, but it has an alkali-lime (rather than lead-rich) glaze similar to Bristol\&$\#$39;s. This artifact is therefore tentatively attributed to Bristol, but additional analytical data for these and other early British true porcelains are required to confirm this attribution.</p>},
