Description: | Small wall sherd of brown glazed red earthenware vessel, probably dating from the late medieval or early post-medieval period, i.e. AD1600-1800. The curvature of the sherd suggests that it came from a plate or shallow bowl. The underside/reverse is unglazed and brush strokes suggest that it was only covered by a reddish slip which in some parts already started flaking off. The top/inside/obverse is was decorated with a red and white slip and then glazed so that the decorative slip now shows up as dark brown background with a bright white/cream pattern in the foreground. Unfortunately, there is not enough of the decoration left to suggest what the entire decor looked like, but simple wavy lines, circles, spirals or even lettering are known from similar examples. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
