Description: | Three ceramic wheel-thrown base sherds of coarse earthenware vessels, dating to the 17th/ 18th century AD (thickness ranging from 10mm ? 18.5mm; collective weight: 196.1g). These hard fired earthenwares have a colour ranging from salmony pink to orange red with small frequent inclusions in the fill as well as glaze remaining on the inside of the sherds (although some glaze also appears on the outside of the sherds as a probable result of the firing process). The glaze is light-dark brown in colour with a streaking and mottled affect in areas. Additionally, there is a dark red slip below the glaze, as well as appearing on the outside of the sherds. The two largest sherds are probably fragments off milk pans or pancheons. Overall, the sherds are in a worn but fair condition. Coarse earthenwares originated in the 15th/ 16th century and were recognised as a distinct ware in the 17th century, with production continuing into the 19th century. Later production forms jars (rounded or cylindrical), bowls and large bowls or pancheons/ milk pans. Production centres are numerously known in Staffordshire & the West Midlands. Most of these sherds may come from pancheons. | 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
