Description: | Fragment of medieval ceramic vessel. The fragment is subrectangular in plan and is a rim fragment with an unflanged rim. Beneath the rim, the small portion of body that survives curves in and begins to flare gently out again just at the point of the break. The fabric is red, hard and sandy with some larger grit inclusions. The surface is a purple-brown. It is decorated with a painted line of creamy beige slip (probably once white). The fragment is 30.18mm long, 41.3mm wide, 11.72mm thick and weighs 15g. The form of the rim suggests that the vessel the fragment is from is probably a jug. The colour of the fabric and surface and the painted decoration may indicate that it is from painted Cambridgeshire or East Anglian ware. It is probably 14th century in date. See Rackham, 1972, Medieval English Pottery, plate 50 and 52.
