Description: | A fragment of a mottled wear flagon dating to the late 17th- early 18th century. Almost half of the vessel is left showing the shape of the flagon. The fabric is cream and the glaze is a yellow colour on the inside, the outside is browny- yellow. The initials IB have been put on the vessel as a slip. They are most likely to refer to the person the vessel was made for. This type of vessel was often made to order as presents for special occasions. Mottled wear was produced at many sites for example Stoke, Derby, Buckley, Sheffield and South Lancashire. However due to the location of the finds it is more likely that this vessel was made at a site to the south- for example Stafford or Buckley. It is not however possible to know this for definite due to the wide ranging production of this type of ware.This flagon was found in the same place as an incomplete vessel of similar style, with a yellow glaze and the initials SB. This is recorded on the database as LVPL-582A93
