Description: | A post medieval ceramic tin glazed earthernware ointment jar dating early 17th - 18th century. This ointment jar has a rounded body and flaring foot and rim, creating a symmetrical profile. There is a clear glaze covering the external and internal surfaces that has become partially discoloured due to the Thames mud. There is a little damage to the foot and rim but the pot is almost complete. There is a hardened, dry substance inside the pot that may be the original ointment but without further analysis it is impossible to say.If is probable that this was made in London at one of the local pothouses, the Pickleherring pothouse (AD1618-1723), the Rotherhithe pothouse (AD1638-1684), the Norfolk House pothouse (AD1680-1779), all three of these pothouses were manufacturing similar ointment pots (Tyler, Betts & Stephenson 2008).Dimensions: length: 36.44mm; diameter: 38.03mm; weight: 42.71g.Reference: Tyler, K., Betts, I. And Stephenson, R. 2008. London's Delftware Industry. The tin-glazed pottery industries of Southwark and Lambeth. MoLAS Monograph 40.
