Medieval pottery from Hartlebury Castle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

These four sherds of green-glazed pottery were found during our excavations in the carriage circle of Hartlebury Castle<\/a> in 2013. They belong to a type of medieval pottery known as Worcester-type sandy glazed ware<\/a>, and were probably made in a kiln somewhere near Worcester during the thirteenth or fourteenth century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, three of the four pieces fit neatly back together, and one of them has the beginnings of a handle – suggesting that they come from a jug or pitcher. While we often think of jugs as ‘pouring vessels’, we know that medieval jugs could be used in weird and wonderful ways – including as toilets and weapons! <\/p>\n\n\n
