Title
Medieval to Post Medieval crucible rim fragment (external view)
Description
English: The object is a probable rim fragment from a crucible, which possibly dates to the 15th to 17th centuries, or Late Medieval to Post Medieval (David Symons, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery). The object is ceramic and is incomplete.
The object is light brown-grey in colour with occasional sub-rounded inclusions (less than 10%) of quartz which are less than 2mm in size. The material is also very hard and brittle which suggests that the object has been heated at a very high temperature, either over or in a fire. The fragment is 61.0mm x 60.9mm in size, is 19.1mm thick and weighs 106.62g. The internal face of the fragment is coarse while the external face is smoother. Both faces of the fragment are covered by a patchy black vitrified material, not thought to be glass. 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 6.5cm in diameter.
