status: Awaiting validation 
A fragment of post medieval ceramic kiln furniture dating 17th - 18th century. This fragment is from the upper section of a refractory boomerang-shaped separator that would have been used to seal off the uppermost saggar in the kiln. This is from a kiln producing stoneware. The fragment is curved and has a rounded rectangular cross-section. Glaze covers part of the two broken edges and there are two lumps of red clay, one on the upper and one on the lower surface. These lumps of red clay were probably clay pads used to separate different elements in the kiln.
