North Midlands/Staffordshire-Type Slipware Body and Handle Sherd

One monochrome North Midlands/Staffordshire slipware body sherd with a partial handle terminal visible. The sherd is from a hollowware vessel with a yellow glaze and no visible decoration. A portion of the paste appears red in color, which could be due to staining or possibly the result of an agate-type clay.
