Description: | 15 fragments of cooking and serving vessels dating from the mid 16th to 17th century. Mostly local green glazed earthernwares. Unless otherwise mentioned the fragments have fresh, unworn breaks suggesting they have been recently exposed and are not sea worn.Fragment 1: Pipkin handle with thick mid-olive glaze on the inside of the vessel; the fabric is mid orange with a pale grey core; it weighs 73 grams.Fragments 2 and 3: Two fragments from slipware plates. Both have a mid-orange fabric with a darker orange slip on the outside decorated with white slip splashes all covered by pale yellow glaze. One is heavily abraded and weighs 36 grams; it maybe a rim sherd although abrasion makes this unclear. The second is a flared rim from a plate flaring out at 150 degrees to the vessel; the rim end is a rolled strip projecting above and below the main rim. It weighs 55 grams and the original diameter is estimated to be c.30cm.Fragment 4 and 5: Two fragments of green glazed buffwares; both rim sherds with pale orange-buff fabric and pale green glaze. One has a thin rim rolling out at 90 degrees to the straight wall, it weighs 20 grams and is probably from a jar, original diameter c.140mm. The other has a broad flat rim flaring out at 90 degrees to the straight wall and ending in a slightly thickened rounded rim; it weighs 24 grams; original diameter c.200mm.Fragment 6: Possibly a Surrey borderware, a green glazed buffware with a pale buff fabric and mid to dark green glaze. Rim fragment flaring out at 135 degrees to the vessel wall with a D shaped expansion on the lower side at the edge. It weighs 8 grams.Fragment 7 - 15: Green glazed orange earthernwares with mid orange fabric and pale olive glaze; some have a pale grey core. None are necessarily later than the early 17th century.Fragment 7: Handle fragment from an applied handle; 27 grams.Fragment 8: Rim fragment from a bowl with a small D shaped rim projecting from the outside at 90 degrees to the vessel wall. The fragment is too small to reconstruct the rim diameter. It has glaze on the inner side and weighs 14 grams.Fragment 9: Rim fragment from a jar or bowl with a rolled rim projecting from the outside at 120 degrees to the vessel wall. The fragment is too small to reconstruct the rim diameter. It has glaze on the inner side and weighs 22 grams.Fragment 10: Rim fragment from a jar or bowl with a rim curving out at 90 degrees to the wall with a D shaped projection on the lower side at the end. The fragment is too small to reconstruct the rim diameter. It has glaze on the inner side and weighs 12 grams.Fragment 11: Rim fragment from a jar or bowl with a rim stepped out from the vessel wall and ending in a rolled top, there is an incised line running round the inside just below the step. The fragment is too small to reconstruct the rim diameter. It has glaze on the inner side and weighs 18 grams.Fragment 12: Rim fragment from a vessel with a flaring body; the rim itself projects out at 135 degrees and is oval, projecting above and below the wall. The fragment is too small to reconstruct the rim diameter. It has a mid grey fabric and glaze on the inner side; it weighs 18 grams.Fragment 13: Rim fragment from a bowl with a small rolled rim projecting from the outside at 120 degrees to the vessel wall. The top is also curved. The original rim diameter is estimated at 280. It has glaze on the inner side and weighs 68 grams.Fragment 14: Rim fragment from a bowl with a projecting triangular rim on the outside; it steps out abruptly from the wall and then has a convex curve on the upper side. The wall is upright. The original rim diameter is estimated at 260mm. It has glaze on the inner side and weighs 75 grams.Fragment 15: Base fragment with a flat base and a wall projecting up at 60 degrees to the base. It has glaze on the inner side and areas of glaze on the base (suggesting it was fired upsidedown) and weighs 48 grams.
