Description: | A small wheel-thrown possible perforated sherd of late Medieval/ early post-Medieval pottery (length: 58mm; width: 27mm; thickness: 10.5mm; weight: 13.92g), dating to the 15th/ 16th century AD. The surface body of the sherd is orange/ brown with a paler grey fabric as the fill in the centre. There are remains of three perforated diagonal slants running in one direction, one of them with an approximate length of 19mm. The sherd is very similar to the Wednesbury pottery industry in Staffordshire dating to the Medieval and Post-Medieval period. Excavations were carried out in 1990 and uncovered various vessel forms including handled pitchers, chafing dishes and garden vessels. This example is likely to be from a flower container. Some of these pottery forms were also found at the Bullring excavations as well as Tamworth and Lichfield. However, most of the Wednesbury pottery had a splashed glaze on the surface and this sherd is plain with no decoration.
