Stoneware Crucible

One ceramic body and rim sherd from a large Hessian crucible. The crucible is likely a crude stoneware or possibly a coarse earthenware with a gray paste. The exterior has some traces of reddish-brown melted residue which may be a glaze. The vessel likely had a triangular-mouth although the rim is incomplete.
