Pottery. Beverleyware 2, an orange oxidised fabric with dark green splashed glaze externally; spout from a jug, with a central moulded aperture of 9.6mm diameter. An applied ring at the end of the spout passes around it, conferring a phallic appearance which may not be fortuitous: rough areas below it may show where modelled hands formerly gripped the 'shaft'. Peter Armstrong, a leading excavator of sites in Hull and Beverley which have produced such vessels, indelicately referred to the form as a 'wanking jug', to describe the juxtaposition of hands and spout which characterise this form. The potters of Beverley were innovative and skilled craftsmen, and their demise in the mid-14th-century is ascribed to the Black Death. Suggested date: Medieval, 1200-1350
Weight: 75.82gms
Class: Beverleyware 2 or Orangeware
