Description: | A large glazed sherd from an earthenware jug medieval date (1250-1400). The sherd consists of the union between the sidewall of the jug and the strap handle. The rim and base are lost and so the size of the jug cannot be estimated. The sherd is relatively large with unabraded edges. The fabric is a hard earthenware: it is mica rich, having frequent white quartz and grit-like inclusions as well as sparse grog (crushed pottery) inclusions. The fabric is a matt grey colour. The interior and exterior surfaces are an oxidised red colour. A white slip has been applied to the surface of the fragment over which a thick mottled but now decayed green coloured glaze has been applied to the exterior surface. This survives best on the handle. The handle is also decorated with a series of circular impressed hollows which form a spine down the centre. This fabric matches that known from Worcester jugs.The sherd measures 58.3mm width, 37.2mm high, the handle projects 39.8mm is 38.7mm wide and 13.9mm thick he sidewall of the jug is 8.9mm thick. The jug fragment weighs 53.49 grams.
