A fragment of a Post Medieval ceramic top from a ceramic money box. The sherd has a green glaze over a pale grey fabric and may be Surrey/Hampshire border ware. The sherd is the top part of the money box, circular in plan, in profile the start of the shoulder is evident, narrowing to a neck before widening again to the rim and a surmounting knop.

The sherd is 31.3mm in height, the rim is 24.6mm wid…

A Post Medieval ceramic sherd comprising a knop, probably Borderware, probably from a money box dating late 16th - late 17th century. This fragment comprises an ornamental knop at the top of a long neck, the knop is made up of three concentric ridges tapering towards the peak. The peak has a central depression. Small traces of a clear glaze survive in the grooves in between the ridges and on the long neck. Pearce (1992:37) writes about money boxes with similar shaped knops but none have as long a neck. She suggests a date range of late 16th - late 17th century for the money boxes.…

Published in full with plate by Neuberg 1972, 166-7. "S.J. Madge, Early Records of Harringay (1938), 21 "reproduced a photograph of the pot as it was originally reconstructed but it was unfortunately reproduced upside down. After its initial reconstruction the pot was separated again and the sherds were examined early in 1970 [by H.L. Sheldon and Caroline Neuburg]. The fabric was found to be of a gritty, light red type, unevenly fired. On present knowledge the fabric cannot be paralleled to the material from the Roman Pottery Factory at present under excavation in Highgate Wood (A.E. B…

See White 1981. A purpose-made money-box now in the British Museum 1897,0913.1. "The money-box itself (Fig. 6) is in a grey-black sandy fabric with a black, burnished surface. The globular body is topped by a small finial, presumably a plug of clay used to seal the neck. A small circular fracture can be seen on the finial near the coin-slot, representing either ancient surface spalling or a junction for a handle; no lower attachment for a handle can be seen however, so its existence is extremely doubtful. The vertical coin slot is formed by what appears to be a saw-cut in the neck som…
