Description: | Body sherd of ac glazed earthenware pottery vessel probably dating from the later medieval period (1400 ? 1550). Not enough of the sherd survives to be certain of the form, without this a more certain date is difficult. The fabric of the sherd is a relatively soft earthenware with a number of small occasional sub-angular quartz and burnt pottery inclusions as well as frequent mica inclusions. The fabric colour of the sherd is two tone, the centre is a mid beige grey colour and the outer and inner surfaces a grey orange. This two-tone effect has been caused by low temperatures within the kiln and is typical of early pottery. Glaze is present on the outer surface; this is a much decayed yellow green colour (probably Tudor green glaze). The majority of this surface has been lost, what remains is cracked and flaking. Due to the smallness of the sherd the diameter of the vessel cannot be estimated. It measures 23.2mm length, 16.8mm width, is 4.1mm thick, and weighs 1.71 grams. | 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: | 1400
