Description: | Twent-six sherds of Post Medieval local Sussex black glazed ware, dating to c. 1600-1750 AD. All of the sherds originate from mugs and jars. Among the assemblage, there are numerous diagnostic fragments; there are three handles, one sherd bearing a handle base, three rim sherds, and a full base. The other eighteen sherds consist of body fragments from thin to medium-walled vessels, as mentioned above. Six of the body sherds seem to have only been glazed on the exterior surface, with only traces of glaze drip on the interior face. Two sherds seem to have possible light usage of glaze on the interior, as well as glaze completely covering the exterior surface. Ten sherds are equally glazed on both surfaces. All of the sherds display evidence to suggest that the kilning process was similar for all of them; each sherd exhibits a darker (reducing) core, flanked by interior and exterior surfaces which are bright red (oxidised) during the firing process. The rim sherds indicate vessel openings of 11 mm in diameter, 7 mm in diameter, and 7 mm in diameter; the base is 63.48 mm in diameter. The sherds weigh 166 grams in diagnostic total weight and 262 grams in total weight for all sherds.
