A fragment of glass, part (about half) of the circular base of a vessel, probably a wine or brandy bottle, of Post Medieval date, perhaps c AD 1600 -1800. The glass was perhaps originally dark green or blue, now translucent, and all surfaces, including the broken edges are now coated with pearlescence. The outer surface, however is more cloudy. The lower/underside of the fragment is a domed punt ('push-up' or 'kick-up') from the base. A jagged low section of the wall of the bottle is part of the fragment. There are no seam or mould marks on the extant fragment, so probably free-blown,…
