Stoneware Crucible Rim Sherds

Sixteen ceramic rim sherds from multiple crucibles of various sizes. The crucibles are likely made of a crude stoneware with a coarse paste. The sherds are likely from triangular-mouthed vessels with circular bases. Some of the fragments are slightly blackened from use and some have encrusted residue on their interior surfaces. A few of the sherds mend but more than one vessel is represented.
