Description: | A post medieval ceramic fragment from a red Border Ware upright candlestick, dating from mid 16th to early 17th century. This is a post medieval red slipware "Guys Ware". The sherd includes part of the heavy, flared, pedestal base that is present on most upright candlesticks. It has two surviving carinations with a thickened flat base to give it a firm footing. This example would have been open at the bottom, which was the norm for this type of candlestick (Pearce, 1992: 35). The fabric is red and an olive glaze covers most of the external surface and part of the internal surface with a clear glaze covering the rest of the surface.Dimensions: length: 65.64 mm; width: 49.35 mm; thickness: 13.22 mm; weight: 36.50 g.An example can be found in Pearce (1992, No. 354).Reference: Pearce, J. 1992. Post Medieval Pottery in London, 1500-1700: Border Wares. London: HMSO.
