Description: | A base fragment of a Medieval green glazed tripod vessel, possibly a pipkin. The fragment has a regular form and rilling on the internal surface suggesting it was wheel-thrown. The vessel has a flat base with a leg 18.1mm in length, protruding from where the body and base meet. The leg is hand moulded. Two further legs are missing. A light yellow-green glaze partly remains on the inside surface of the vessel. Due to the body of the vessel being missing it we are unable to tell if the outer surface would have been glazed, however similar vessels of this type are glazed over their entire surface. The fabric is orange in colour with a soapy texture. The fabric has frequent small quartz inclusions, some larger stone inclusions and voids suggesting missing larger inclusions or organic material. The remaining leg is a dark grey colour suggesting the vessel was used over a fire. The fabric and glaze suggest it is Medieval in date, possibly London Ware which dates from AD 1150 to 1350.
