Abstract

A small earthenware pot, its upper section partially covered in mottled green glaze. The pot has a deep small foot and wide irregular spherical body. The neck narrows and the lip is wide. This is possibly Tudor Green Ware with a label noting Vandon Street, London. It is unclear if this refers to a findspot. The pot is English made but is a copy of typical French ware. The small jar may have contained cosmetics or ointments.
