A fragment of a redware vessel handle from a jug or tankard of later medieval date, c. 1200-1500. The material of this vessel fragment is coarse, likely sand-tempered and heavily worn. The cross section is D-shaped with a pair of parallel slashed incisions along the midline of the handle exterior. This handle would have typically been glazed however this glaze appears to have worn off the fragment which in turn makes precise dating difficult.
The fabric has a pinkish and pale cream buff exterior and a reduced grey interior with a central pale cream interior within the larger end of th…

Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of ceramic vessel of Post-Medieval date, c. AD 1500-1700.
The fragment is probably a base sherd of a stoneware vessel with a fabric comprising a pale, reddy-orange colour and pale grey-cream core. There is evidence of a thick internal green glaze. A large, ovate, white inclusion, possibly chalk, is evident in the centre of the surviving vessel interior. It is possible that it was overlooked because of it being at a thick part of the pot. It measures 20.98mm x 12.09mm and remains firmly in situ.
The sherd is 40.32mm long, 38.34mm wide, 13.08mm …
