Bikio (Rh. "Female dog") was a woman who lived in Esgaroth during the Third Age. She was a local potter, making wheel-thrown crockery which she coated with an iridescent green tin glaze and fired in a ground kiln fueled with peat. She lived in the backroom of the klaiaskapiahusa, with one assistant and a bondservant who helped her care for her three young children. Her husband was a “River Rat” who plied the trade routes up and down the Celduin and was rarely home during the trading season.
