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. There are also frequent rounded grains of sand. The fabric colour is mid grey and the inner and outer surfaces of both sherds are a mid orange. This two-tone effect has been caused the atmosphere within the kiln and is typical of early pottery. 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 240mm (24cm). 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 33mm length, 54.5mm width, is 21.5mm high, the base is 12.3mm thick and the side wall is 9.1mm thick. The sherd weighs 24.76 grams.
