Refined Earthenware Body Sherd

Burned and discolored, thick-bodied, curved refined earthenware body sherd from a hollowware vessel with a bulbous body and a tapering neck. May possibly be from a pitcher, ewer or similarly shaped vessel. Sherd is possibly creamware or pearlware, but is difficult to determine due to the stained coloring. The interior has spots of missing glaze and tooled scratch marks from manufacturing. The exterior of the vessel has some pitting in the glaze. There are also visible turn rings on the interior. Consists of five sherds that mend but are not mended.
