Title: VESSEL [Go to resource]
Description: A body shard of post medieval pottery. The shard is 57mm long, 38.8mm wide and 9.7mm thick. It is trapezoidal in plan and ridged in profile, suggesting it is handmade. The fabric is brick red and fine grained. There is a lustrous dark brown glaze on both faces, with specks of yellow in it. The pottery is probably an example of Cistercian Ware or a derivative. These types of pottery are known to have been made in Wakefield in the late 16th century (Laing, 2003, Pottery in Britain, page 108), and the shard may date from then or the 17th century.
