Description: | A rim sherd from large storage jar of probable 17th century date. The reduced earthenware fabric has some oxidised patches on the surface and contains moderate very small rounded quartz, occasional small sub-rounded black iron-rich particles and sparse small sub-rounded oolithic limestone. The sherd is internally and externally glazed with a brownish-green lead glaze. The curvature of the flat rim indicates a former rim diameter of c. 340mm. It is slightly recessed, possibly to take a lid. The dark colour of the fabric suggests that it may come from an East Devon/West Somerset production site rather than South Somerset. | 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
