Description: | A small sherd from the handle of a drinking vessel dated to the post medieval period (1650 - 1720). The fabric is best described as a Midlands Purple Ware. The edges of the sherd are relatively fresh with crisp broken edges. The fabric is a very hard earthenware (almost stoneware) with a number of small rounded and sub-angular grit and quartz inclusions. There is also a high proportion of mica and sand like grains present in the fabric. The fabric colour is mid grey purple. The outer surface is glazed in a purple brown colour; the consistency of the glaze is relatively thin which might suggest a later date. None of the body of the vessel survives to give an estimation of the depth or overall form/shape of the vessel. The sherd measures 34.3mm high, 21.1 width is 11.6mm thick at base; the sherd weighs 8.45 grams.
