Description: | A comparatively thick jug handle made from green-glazed light grey earthenware dating from the Medieval period, i.e. c. AD1200-1400. All side surfaces and the points where the handle broke off the jug are well worn as if the break occurred quite some time ago. The breaks and other surfaces are well worn and show some black and dark brown riverine patina except where small slivers of the surface have flaked off. Beneath the riverine patina and the glaze, the light grey coloured material it was made from shows through. It seems that the light grey earthenware was tempered with very fine grit and quartz particles. The surface was then glazed, but probably only on the outside of the handle; the inside of the handle looks like it was only glazed on the lower part. The glaze on the grey clay produced a light olive-green colour which is typical of earlier medieval vessels dating from the 13th and 14th century. The handle probably came of a larger water or wine jug with bulbous body, steep shoulders, narrow rim and possibly a spout opposite the handle.
