"Medieval Pottery in Britain AD 900 - 1600"
M McCarthy and C. Brooks
Leiscester University Press; 1988

   This book is an archeological report and has lovely drawings--they're
cut away, so you get an idea of how thick the section is.  It has
ordinary frying-pan shapes as well as frying pans on legs, from at least
the mid 1300s.
