Stoneware Crucible

About half of a Hessian ceramic crucible consisting of two mending fragments. The crucible is likely made of a crude stoneware with a coarse paste. The crucible likely has a triangular-shaped mouth/rim but most of the rim is missing. The crucible is slightly blackened from use and the interior has some encrusted residue.
