Description: | Post medieval base sherd from a large jug or bowl. The side angles outwards at c.115 degrees from the flat base. The sherd has a light grey fabric which is covered with a pale white slip and then a clear glaze that appears yellow due to iron impurities. The outside is decorated with incised decoration and rows of impressed dots, both show up as dark brown due to the greater depth of glaze they contain.It is probably one of the south western fine stonewares produced in the late 16th-17th centurys at several centres including Donyatt in Somerset and Honiton in Devon.The sherd is 65.9mm long, 43.3mm wide, 6.8mm thick at the top and 9.9mm thick at the base; it weighs 34.53 grams. The origional base diameter was c.140mm.
