Description: | One incomplete ceramic vessel body sherd of wheel-thrown glazed coarse earthenware, dating to the 17th/ 18th century AD (41mm x 28mm; thickness: 7.5mm; weight: 14.53g). This sherd has a red/ brown inner fabric with a dark brown glaze on the inside of the vessel over a lower red slip. The red slip is also visible on the outside of the sherd. The fabric is fairly hard-fired with small infrequent grit inclusions. The glaze on the surface is a lead glaze which draws iron from the body, thus giving a brown or black dark colour; an iron-rich slip is frequently used under the lead glaze to produce a more even dark colour, as seen with this example. There is no decoration on this vessel. According to Klemperer, D, A, coarse earthenware originated in Staffordshire as 'late medieval orange ware' in the late 15th/ 16th century, but was only recognised as a distinct ware in the 17th century, with production continuing into the 19th century. Forms of coarse earthenware vessels included jars, chafing dishes, jugs, small and large bowls and early saggars. This type of pottery was made nationwide during this period. | 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: | 1600
