Description: | Fragment of Medieval ceramic, border ware, vessel with green glaze and deep square holes, AD.1300-1550. The fragment is made from a creamy white oxidised fabric with glaze on both internal and external surfaces. The interior surface has a small area of large grit, similar to that found in a mortarium. On the exterior there is an applied rib of clay that has been stabbed with a pointed object in six places. This rib curves around as if to form part of the base of the vessel. The function of this object is somewhat mysterious, the grit would suggest a mortarium of some kind but the shape of the object is suggestive of a jar or vessel.Length: 89.74mmHeight: 71.83mmWidth: 102.34mmWeight: 179.47g
