Description: | Thick walled body sherd of earthen ware vessel of probable late medieval or post medieval date (1400-1600). This sherd is worn and probably come from the body of a large storage jar or possibly a platter like vessel. The fabric is relatively hard with a number of angular and sub-angular quartz and grit inclusions. The fabric colour is two-tone, the outer a mid orange brown and the inner a mid grey. This two-tone effect has been caused by low temperatures within the kiln and is typical of early pottery. The inner surface has a light-mid green (copper?) glaze (also known as 'Tudor green glaze') applied to it. There is no slip or glaze applied to the outer surface. There is not enough curvature on this sherd to estimate either the size or circumference of the vessel. It weighs 49.43 grams
