Description: | Rim sherd of a relatively thick walled black glazed pottery vessel, probably a large dish of post medieval date (1650 - 1750).). This sherd is relatively fresh with broken edges. The fabric of the sherd is a very hard earthenware with a number of small rounded and sub-angular grit, grog, black iron stone and quartz inclusions. There is also a high proportion of mica / sand like grains present in the fabric. The fabric colour is mid brown orange and the outer surface has been burnished. The inner surface of the vessel is glazed with a thick black / brown treacle colour. The diameter of the vessel can be estimated from the curvature of the rim; this is approximately 40cm; the sherds represent 9% of the rim. There is not enough of the body of the pot surviving to give an estimation of the depth or overall form/shape of the vessel. The sherd measures 113.5mm length, 62.4mm width, is 17.7mm thick (rim), 10.7mm thick (body) and weighs 135 grams.
