Description: | Small, almost squat baluster jug. With one handle. Two dummy handles, with applied and stamped, almost 'grotesque' faces., Type series description: Ware - probable waster. Difficult to assess ware late Nottingham green glazed ware (?). Note this will need changing if other evidence comes to light. Form - Rim - slightly inturned/upright, internally sloping rim, thickened triangular, shape. May have had a pulled lip (restored). Handle - oval, thick, ribbed, thumbed to neck and body (stabbed). Small, almost squat baluster jug , very odd shape. Fabric - difficult to assess. Hard, dense fabric, grey core, ornage-brown surfaces. Glaze - from rim to base, a heavily distorted (? waster). Where unaffected, glossy, thick brown-green glaze with brown spotting . Decoration - two dummy handles, with applied and stamped, almost 'grotesque' faces. Between the faces on the dummy handles, are a series of applied designs and stamps. These include an applied circle of clay with applied blobs and a central divided brooch?, an applied and stamped bird and vertical applied, notched and 'circle and dot' designs. Incomplete - no base, parts of body restored. Found Great Central Railway,1895. Possibly Nottingham reduced green glazed ware. Form is odd as is the decoration. Shape and handle type suggest a C14th date. Decorative design very unusual? Use of 'eye' stamp of face jugs ('dot and circle'). Almost like a devolved face jug. Decorative elements more typical of C14th. High degree of restoration and the badly damaged appearance of the vessel did not aid full assessment. Vessel shape confusing but interesting. Unusual. (?first half) 14th century.,
