Description: | Rim sherd of an unglazed earthenware bowl of later medieval or post medieval date (1400-1700). The sherd is incomplete and abraded. The fabric is a hard earthenware: it is mica rich, having well sorted sparse grit-like inclusions. The fabric is an oxidised orange colour. The sherd is not glazed - but has small splashes of a brown glaze present on the interior surface - this is either from another part of the bowl - which is glazed or transferred from the potters workshop / kiln. The rim shape is very angular and flare slightly along the length. The form of the vessel is probably best described as domestic / agricultural ware - probably a larger creamer bowl or similar wide mouthed vessel.The sherd measures 43.7mm width, 17.3mm high, is 8.8mm thick at rim and 7.4mm thick at the side wall; it weighs 21.93 grams. The projected diameter of the rim is 30cm and approximately 5% of the rim survives. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
