Description: | A probable wheel thrown handle sherd of Midlands Purple ware (length: 33.1mm; width: 30.3mm; thickness: 24.9mm; weight: 15.54g). A hard fired fabric with an outside salmony pink coloured surface and light grey fill with large but sparse gritty black inclusions. There is no evidence of glazing.Midlands Purple ware originated in the late medieval period, probably late 15th/ 16th century and continued into the 18th century. The vessel may have been from a jug or jar, although chafing dishes, bowls, cisterns and butter pots were also made. Production centres are known in Staffordshire (Burslem; Wednesbury), Warwickshire (Chilvers Coton for early material) and Derbyshire (Ticknall).Ford, D. A., '17th/ 18th century Staffordshire post-Medieval Coarsewares', 1999.
