Description: | St. Germans ware pottery rim sherd of a spouted bowl with a wide folded lip for pouring. A patch of green glaze remains on the interior of the rim at the edge of the lip. Some of the white slip decoration remains on the upper edge of the rim, in a draped pattern, and on the interior of the sherd, in two linear bands. There is also some external sooting below the rim on the exterior of the sherd. The fabric is slightly micaceous with quartz and feldspar inclusions, and has been oxidised to a bright orange on the surface of the sherd, and reduced to a light grey at its core.
Fairclough (1979) illustrates a similar example on page 89, Fig.22, No.190, which is dated from the 15th to the 16th century. | 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
