A wall, rim and handle fragment of a Post Medieval white-ware vessel, probably a jug. The fragment has a regular form and rilling on the internal surface and drag lines on the outer surface suggesting it was wheel-thrown. The rim is rounded, everted, and thickend on the outside. There is a raised ridge that runs around the vessel 26mm below the rim. There is a strap handle that protrudes directly from the rim. It is 24.82mm wide and 10.30mm thick and D-shaped in section.
A clear-yellow glaze remains on the internal surface. There is no evidence of glaze on the outer surface, however the whole vessel was probably glazed. The fabric is pale grey- white in colour with some rare, large to small orange, possibly grog inclusions. The fabric is fine and smooth with some small to large voids.
The fabric and the glaze suggests a medieval date. It bears some similarities with Saintonge ware (c. 1250-1350), however it could be of a much later date, up to the late 17th century. A similar shape and fabric can be seen on entry IOW-B83C75 on the database.
