Description: | A sherd of a medieval Midlands white ware vessel. The sherd contains part of the base and body of the vessel and is 35.8mm long, 69.7mm wide, and 15.9mm thick. These are maximum dimensions. The sherd has a mass of 36.6g. The sherd has a ridge on the external surface defining the edge of the base. The sherd has an orange/cream coloured external surface. The internal surface is light brown/white. The core is grey/cream coloured. The fabric has common, well sorted medium to course silicaceous sub-angular inclusions. There are a number of straight incisions/grooves on the base which indicate that it was knife cut from the wheel during manufacture. In ??Medieval Pottery in Staffordshire, AD 800 ?? 1600: A Review??, Ford (1995,pages 33-5) notes that a general date range usually given for this ware is from the late 12th century to the 14th century AD, but that there is evidence showing that the main period of use may have begun in the 13th century or 14th century at a number of sites. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Slarke, Duncan - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
