Description: | Body sherd of a glazed earthenware (Midlands Purple Wear) pottery vessel probably dating from the post medieval period (1600 - 1700). Not enough of the sherds survives to be certain of the form, without this a more certain date is difficult to ascertain. The fabric of the sherd is a relatively hard earthenware with a number of small angular and sub-angular grit and quartz inclusions. There is also a large amount of mica in the fabric. The fabric colour of the sherd is a mid brown purple colour. The glaze on the outer and inner faces is a mottled green colour and relatively thick. Due to the smallness of the sherd the diameter of the vessels cannot be estimated. The sherd measures 26.8mm length, 13.7mm width, is 4.3mm thick, and weighs 1.68 grams. This sherd can be compared to HESH-C44BB1 in that the fabric and glaze is similar - although the vessel is clearly different.
