Description: | Rim fragment of a blue/green globular or discoid jug with a pulled-out spout. There is a funnel mouth, with the rim edge fire-rounded, and part of the rim is pulled out to for a narrow spout. On the underside of the tip of the spout is shallow triangular indent (with rounded ends) from the tool used to pull out the spout. This indent is 6.5mm long with a maximum width of 4.5mm. There are small, elongated bubbles in the glass. It is 6.5mm high, the wall thickness is 1.9-2.5mm and the width of the tip of the spout is 8.5. It weighs 1.76g.
Spouted jugs are frequently found on sites in Britain and elsewhere in the north-west provinces. Other jugs with pulled-out spouts are known from 2nd-3rd century and later contexts at Colchester (Cool and Price 1995, 140-41 nos. 1005/6, 1040-41 figs. 8.8-9) and fragments from four blue/green examples were found at Stonea, Cambridgeshire (Price 1996b, 402 nos. 49-51 fig. 131). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 100
