Description: | A handle and rim sherd from a Medieval ceramic vessel dating from about AD 1200 - 1500. The fabric is dark grey and hard, with an irregular texture. There are fairly sparse poorly sorted inclusions; rounded black particles (maybe black iron ore), glassy black pieces (iron slag?) and angular reflective quartz. The strap handle is fluted and is a rounded rectangle in cross-section. The handle joins just below the rim which is straight and pinched into a pie crust pattern. Both faces are covered with a mottled dark green to purple glaze with some bubbles in it. The glaze on the underside of the handle is more metallic, less lustrous and is purplebrown coloured in places. The sherd is 56.1mm high, 64.2mm wide and the wall is 12mm thick. The handle is 14.7mm thick. 108g.
