Description: | Body sherd of an unusual - possibly experimental (or misfired) salt glazed stoneware pottery vessel dating from the post medieval period (1650-1800). The sherd is most likely to be from the neck of a relatively thick walled jug or bottle. The fabric of the sherd is a hard fired stoneware with a large amount of mica in the fabric. The fabric is similar but not the same as Midlands Purple Ware The fabric colour is a uniform mid grey colour. The outer glaze has a patchy but very thick salt glaze with large inclusions of rock crystal within its makeup. The inner surface has a mid green brown glaze which is similar to that found on early Cistercian Ware. Not enough of the vessel survives to suggest the size or form, height, or capacity and the sherds itself is plough worn and abraded. The sherd measures 51.4mm length, 39.7mm width, is 9.3mm thick and weighs 21.98 grams.
