Two large conjoining base sherds from a wheel-thrown jug of medieval date. The sherds have a grey reduced core and oxidised orange surfaces. The fabric contains moderate fine quartz sand, occasional iron oxide (up to 4mm) and some larger quartz pieces (up to 1mm). There are splashes of an external green lead glaze. The base of vessel displays possible rouletted decoration. Its curvature indicates a former diameter of 16cm. The jug was probably produced at one of the south/west Somerset production centres.
