Small fragment / pottery sherd from the base of a highly decorated slipware, wheel thrown, shallow bowl or dish probably dating from the post medieval period (1650-1750 AD). The fabric of the pottery is relatively hard with a number of rounded and sub-angular quartz, grit, and mica inclusions. The fabric colour is a mid cream. The upper surface of the sherd is glazed with an intricate geometric design formed from a trailed yellow slip on a brown glazed background. Due to the smallness of the body sherd the circumference of the dish cannot be estimated. The sherd measures 50.0mm length…

A large body sherd of a salt-glazed stoneware tankard of post medieval date (1500-1950). The fabric is a hard almost plastic stoneware which is mica rich. The fabric is a reduced mid grey colour with an iron rich brown surface which is mottled by the salt glaze. The sherd comprises the side wall and attached handle; the rim and base are missing so overall size cannot be suggested. From what remains it is possible to suggest the fragment is from a small drinking tankard (mug). It is possible that this sherd is relatively modern and from a artisan saltglaze pottery studio.
