Description: | Four ceramic wheel-thrown body sherds, one side and base sherd and two rim sherds of probable worn coarse earthenware, dating to the 17th/ 18th century AD (thickness ranging from 5mm - 18.7mm; collective weight: 188.13g). These hard fired earthenwares have a colour ranging from salmony pink orange red with small frequent inclusions in the fill as well as glaze remaining on one side of the sherds, particularly on the inside. The glaze is nearly black in colour with a dark red slip below. Additonally, one of the smaller sherds may be Staffordshire Black ware, also dating to the same period.Coarse earthenwares originated in the 15th/ 16th century and were recognised as a distinct ware in the 17th century, with production continuing into the 19th century. Later production forms jars (rounded or cylindrical), bowls and large bowls or pancheons/ milk pans. Production centres are numerously known in Staffordshire & the West Midlands. Most of these sherds may come from pancheons.
