Description: | A large body sherd of a salt-glazed stoneware tankard of post medieval date (1500-1950). The fabric is a hard almost plastic stoneware which is mica rich. The fabric is a reduced mid grey colour with an iron rich brown surface which is mottled by the salt glaze. The sherd comprises the side wall and attached handle; the rim and base are missing so overall size cannot be suggested. From what remains it is possible to suggest the fragment is from a small drinking tankard (mug). It is possible that this sherd is relatively modern and from a artisan saltglaze pottery studio.The sherd measures 93.1mm length, 54.6mm width, the side wall is 4.5mm thick; the handle projects 29.4mm from the side wall and is 16.9mm wide and is 13.0mm thick. The sherd weighs 74.78 grams. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
