A fragment of a handle and part of the rim of large ceramic vessel dating to the post-medieval period. The fabric is partially oxidised with an orange outer and a grey core. There are fingernail impressions above and below the handle. Maureen Mellor believes that children may have been employed to put on handles and make prints on these vessels (pers. comm.). There are splashes of a copper glaze on the rim top and the handle. Although the type of vessel is uncertain the rim would have had a diameter of c. 27cm. C. AD 1500-1800.
