Description: | Two Post Medieval stoneware Fulham-type cylindrical tankard body sherds, 1700-1750 AD. The sherds are both from Fulham type tankards, narrow cylindrical tankards with very straight sides. One body sherd has the upper half of the handle remaining. The other comes from the front of the tankard and is decorated with an inn-badge of a bear passant with chains across its back. This relates the tankard to the Bear Inn at Cliffe, which is known to have been functioning during the 18th century. There is a similar tankard in the Barbican House Museum collections. Both body sherds are made from a buff-grey fabric, and have an iron wash on the interior and the upper quarter of the exterior. This iron washed upper quarter of the exterior also has prominent salt glaze. The sherds together weigh 144 grams.
