Description: | Rim sherd of a thick walled platter or bowl probably dating from the post medieval period (1550-1650). The sherd is irregular in plan and curved in profile. The fabric is a hard fired earthen ware with a number of small angular and sub-angular grit, sand and quartz inclusions. The fabric colour is two-tone, the outer a mid orange brown and the inner a mid grey. This two-tone effect has been caused by low temperatures within the kiln and is typical of this type of post medieval pottery. The exterior and possibly the interior surface has a light-mid green (copper?) shiny glaze (also known as 'Tudor green glaze') applied to it. The coverage of this glaze is patchy. From the rim of the sherd a diameter for the pot can be estimated; this would be approximately 31cm. The form of this sherd is very similar to that of the later slip-ware pottery of the late 17th ? 19th centuries, however the presence of the ?Tudor Green Glaze would indicate an earlier date.
The sherd measures 38.7mm in length, 67.8mm width, maximum thickness (rim) 19.6mm, minimum thickness (body) 6.3mm.
