Refined Earthenware Base Sherd

Extremely discolored and burnt thick-bodied refined earthenware base sherd, possibly from a plate or similar flat-based vessel without a footring. The sherd curves slightly and has heavy wear along the curved edge. The sherd is possibly creamware or pearlware, but is difficult to determine due to the burnt and heavily stained coloring.
