Description: | Body sherd of a partially glazed earthenware pottery vessel probably dating from the later medieval period (1200 - 1450). Not enough of the sherds survives to be certain of the form, without this a more certain date is difficult. The fabric of the sherd is relatively hard earthenware with a number of small angular and sub-angular quartz inclusions. There is also a small amount of mica in the fabric. The fabric colour of the sherd is a uniform mid orange colour. The outer face has a relatively thick and well applied mid green mottled glaze. This glaze overlies an impressed decorative pattern formed from angled lozenges in a rope-like pattern. Two bands of this decoration (which runs in opposite directions) are present on the sherd. Due to the smallness of the sherd the diameter of the vessel cannot be estimated. It is likely to be from a jug or other table vessel. The style of the glaze is similar to that on pottery from Ham Green. The sherd measures 27.5mm length, 18.1mm width, is 5mm thick, and weighs 3.66 grams.
