Description: | Large sherd from the base of a relatively thick walled (thick based) Black glazed pottery vessel, probably a storage jar of post medieval date (1650 - 1750). This sherd is relatively fresh with broken edges. The fabric of the sherd is a very hard earthenware with a number of small rounded and sub-angular grit, grog, black iron stone and quartz inclusions. There is also a high proportion of mica / sand like grains present in the fabric. The fabric colour is mid brown orange and the outer surface has been burnished. The inner surface of the vessel is glazed with a thick black / brown treacle coloured glaze - the base has similar dribbles / streaks of glaze on it. The sides of the vessel raise from the base at an angle of 90°. A suggested diameter of the base is 21cm; the sherds represent 17% of the base. The height or capacity of the vessel cannot be estimated. The sherd measures 116.9mm width at base, 44.1mm height, is 14.5mm thick (base), 8mm thick (body) and weighs 168.1 grams.
