Description: | Post medieval jug. This South Somerset ware jug dates from about 1720 to 1800 AD. It is typical of South Somerset ware, particularly Donyatt ware. White slip bands under an amber glaze survive on the neck and shoulder of the jug. There is one turned line around the body. Although sherd fragments of this type of pottery are found in the ground relatively frequently, this example, found whilst carrying out farm work, is worthy of note in that it has survived in complete form for over 200 years.
The jug can be closely paralleled with the jug recorded in Coleman-Smith and Pearson's 'Excavations in the Donyatt Potteries' book on p152-3, number 4/266. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Wootton, Danielle - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
