Stoneware Crucible Base Sherd

Two mending base sherds from a ceramic crucible. The crucible is likely made of a crude stoneware with a coarse paste. The crucible has some residue on the interior and the exterior is coated in a green-colored glass-like substance, possibly a glaze but more likely a product of manufacturing.
