Large pottery vessel or jar, probably for storage, transportation, and dispensing of liquids (possibly milk or cider). The vessel is formed from a Midlands Purple-ware fabric. The dating of the vessel is difficult due its functional nature; however, the fabric would suggest a post medieval or early modern date (1550-1800). The vessel has been thrown on a wheel and is globular in form with a relatively wide base with evenly expanded side walls which taper to a flared mouth with an everted shaped rim. The rim is broken but the rest of the vessel is complete. To the front face of the …
