Description: | An earthenware sherd from the base of a ceramic strainer. This sherd retains six complete straining holes, with the remains of a further 9 around the broken edges of the sherd. The complete strainer pot would have been fired with holes already in the base, then a glaze (in this case a yellow-brown) was poured over the strainer. The glaze dripped through the holes in the base where it coated the inside of the strainer holes, and a small area on the underside of the vessel.
The fabric is similar to wares of the Surrey/Hampshire border of the late Medieval period - a similar vessel in a green glaze was found in London and has been dated to between 1600 and 1633. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Byard, Anni - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
