Description: | Two small abraded sherds of late medieval sand tempered coarse ware pottery. Both have light orange oxidsed surfaces and margins, and a buff coloured core. The faintest trace of glaze survives on the external surfaces. One sherd has a well formed dark green lead glaze over grey slip, the other has amber glaze, not visible to the naked eye, over a buff wiped surface. The fabric is tempered with abundant well sorted and rounded quartz grains less than 0.1mm in diameter, and occasional small iron oxide. Their provenance and colour suggest an origin in the Donyatt Potteries and they are similar to Donyatt fabric types DPT 4 (14th century) and DPT 5 (15th century). Unfortunately the sherds are too small to draw any conclusions on the form or function of the vessel(s). One sherd has maximum dimension of 30.40mm, weighs 3.69g and is 4.28mm thick; the other is 26.20mm long, 4.06mm thick and weighs 1.53g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
