Stoneware Crucible Rim Sherds

Two ceramic rim sherds from crucibles of varying sizes. The crucible is likely made of a crude stoneware with a coarse paste. The sherds are likely from triangular-mouthed vessels with circular bases. The fragments are slightly grayed from use and appear to have encrusted residue on their interior surfaces. More than one vessel is likely represented.
