Description: | Sherd from the base of a partially glazed pottery vessel, probably a jug or storage jar of late medieval or post medieval date (1450 - 1600). The fabric of the sherd is a hard earthenware with a number of small rounded and sub-angular grit, quartz, ironstone and broken burnt pottery inclusions. The colour of the fabric is a mid brown orange and the outer surface of the sherd has been blackened. The inner face of the sherd has had a light green coloured Tudor' green glaze applied to it. This has decayed and is very unstable and flakey. The diameter of the base of the vessel is estimated at 220mm (22cm). The angle between the base of the pot and the sloping side is approximately 45ยบ. There is not enough of the body of the pot surviving to give an estimation of the depth or overall form/shape of the vessel. The sherd measures 19.3mm length, 41.3mm width, is 23.4mm high, the base is 6.9mm thick and the side wall is 8.8mm thick. The sherd weighs 20.6 grams.
