Description: | A Post Medieval pottery body sherd from a Westerwald stoneware jug (late 16th - 17th century). The sherd is a salt-glazed light grey stoneware with cobalt-blue painted decoration under the glaze. This sherd includes part of the inscription that would have been on the middle of the jug. The inscription reads: "WAS/DAS/GH". Roy Stephenson notes that sometimes these inscriptions can be nonsense but in this case the word endings are consistent with German words.Dimensions: weight: 15.12g.Identified by Roy Stephenson Medieval and Post Medieval pottery specialist.Reference: Gaimster, D. 1997. German Stoneware 1200-1900. Archaeology and Cultural History. British Museum Press, London. P. 256.
