Description: | Complete thick-walled wheel-thrown ceramic vessel of Post Medieval or Modern date (AD 1500 - AD 1950). Length 188mm, diameter 137mm. Weight 1078g.The vessel is a two-handled flagon (or flask) with a relatively long neck and a globular body. The neck is 70mm in length and has a maximum width of 99mm. Along the full length of the neck are four equally spaced indentations forming four spouts in quatrefoil style.The body has a maximum diameter of 137mm and the diameter across the foot-ring is 93mm. The underside of the base is slightly concave and has a number of wire-marks that were created when the vessel was cut from the potter's wheel.The handles are diametrically opposed and are roughly sub-oval in cross-section. The upper part of each handle is blended to the surface of the neck just beneath one of the spouts and the lower part of each handle is blended to the surface of the girth part of the body.The matrix of the vessel is coarse and sandy and is a pinkish colour (Munsell Color 5YR 7/3). It contains very sparsely distributed brown inclusions of an unidentified substance.The surface of the vessel is very abraded, although the handles are less abraded. A reddish yellow slip has survived in places (Munsell Color 7.5YR 6/6). There is a splash of yellow glaze on one of the handles. The girth of the body is decorated with several indistinct horizontal and circumferential incised lines.
