Creamware Pitcher

Five mending base and body sherds from a creamware hollowware vessel. The base measures to 10.5 centimeters in diameter and has an incised X or cross, possibly a potter's marks. The vessel is likely a pitcher. This vessel is similar to another one (BGC V#20) found in the same context. A number of sherds were also found that could have been part of this or the other similar vessel. Since it is not possible to determine which sherd belongs to which vessel (there are no mends), the fragments were cataloged as a batch.
