Description: | A single wheel thrown ceramic vessel sherd of probable late medieval to post-medieval in date. The sherd is a body sherd and the fabric is brown/grey with plentiful grit inclusions along with large possible iron ore inclusions. It has been very well fired and the fabric is very hard. Comparison with the Staffordshire type series has not yielded an exact match, although Dr David Symons has suggested a close link with Midlands Purple Ware, which was in use from the mid fifteenth into the eighteenth century (Ford 1995, page 35). A mid-fifteenth to eighteenth century date is therefore suggested for this sherd. It is probably from a jar.
