Description: | Two rim sherds of slipped earthenware jugs of medieval date (1250-1500). The sherds are consistent with the Worcestershire jug type fabric which has a white coloured slip. The two sherds are from different jugs as they have different rim profiles and side wall thicknesses. The fabric is a hard earthenware: it is mica rich, having well sorted white quartz / grit-like inclusions and sparse grog (crushed pottery) inclusions. The fabric is an oxidised orange colour; the white slip has been applied solely to the rims; and does not seem to be applied to the interior or exterior of the vessel. There is no evidence of a coloured glaze often associated with this fabric / vessel type.The sherd measures 1. 33.3mm high, 51.4mm width, 11.2mm thick at rim and 6.9mm thick at sidewall of the jug. The jug fragment weighs 17.19 grams. The diameter of the rim is 16mm and approximately 5% of the rim survives.2. 32.7mm high, 52.5mm width, 11.2mm thick at rim and 5.8mm sidewall of the jug. The jug fragment weighs 12.85 grams. The diameter of the rim is 16mm and approximately 10% of the rim survives.
