Tin-Glazed Earthenware Porringer Rim/Handle Sherd

One small tin-glazed earthenware rim sherd with a partial intact lug handle. The sherd is likely from an undecorated porringer or similar vessel type. The vessel has a slightly flared rim and outwardly protruding/bulbous body. The glaze is a thick white tin glaze but has heavy staining. The body is buff-pasted. Some of the glaze is flaking off and there is heavy wear on the edge of the rim and part of the handle.
