Description: | An almost complete mottled wear flagon dating to the late 17th- early 18th century.
The handle has broken off, as has some of the lip of the vessel. The fabric is a cream colour with a brown mottled glaze. On the vessel are the initials SB which have been added as a slip. They are most likely to be the intials of the person the vessel was made for. This type of vessel was often made to order as presents for special occasions.
Mottled wear was produced at many sites for example Stoke, Derby, Buckley, Sheffield and South Lancashire. However due to the location of the finds it is more likely that this vessel was made at a site to the south- for example Stafford or Buckley. It is not however possible to know this for definite due to the wide ranging production of this type of ware.

This flagon was found in the same place as an incomplete vessel of similar style, with a yellow glaze and the initials IB.
