A sherd of probable Midlands Yellow Ware, possibly forming part of a handle. It is a soft to hard-fired earthenware with a lead glazed which has fired to a yellow/green colour on the front and slightly along the back. The fabric is white/ cream with sparse inclusions. As well as the glaze the sherd has closely formed looped or 'turning' decoration and each loop continues to form another.

Notes:

Midlands Yellow ware has its origins in the white wares of the Midlands in the 13th-15th centuries. It comes into existence in its own right by the 16th century, but it does not seem to continue in Staffordshire after the 17th century.
