Title
Medieval to Post Medieval crucible rim fragment (external and internal view).
Description
English: The object is a probable rim fragment from a crucible which David Symons (Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery) suggests possibly dates to the 15th to 17th centuries, or Late Medieval to Post Medieval. The object is ceramic and is incomplete.
The object is light yellowy-brown in colour with occasional sub-rounded inclusions (less than 10%) of quartz which are less than 2mm in size. The fragment is 44.5mm x 51.6mm in size, is 21.8mm thick and weighs 75.60g. The material is very hard suggesting that it has been fired at a high temperature. Both faces of the fragment are smooth. The external face of the fragment has traces of a carbon deposit, probably soot on its surface, suggesting the object was heated. The external face also has traces of a shiny metallic vitrified material, which is golden brown in colour. The internal face does not. In cross-section the object is concave. The diameter of the vessel can be estimated by the curvature of the rim, which in this instance suggests that vessel was approximately 5.5-6.5cm in diameter.
