Painted Salt-Glazed Stoneware Chamber Pot

Sixteen body and rim sherds from a large light gray-bodied salt-glazed stoneware chamber pot with cobalt blue painted decoration on the exterior. The exterior is decorated with painted large-scale rosettes and a painted line below the rim in blue. The rim is flat and everted. Along the top of the body and the handle terminal, there are some incised lines or possible cordoning. The vessel is crossmended between contexts and mends in two sections. It consists of eight sherds that mend but are not mended, three sherds that mend but are not mended, and four sherds that do not mend but are likely from the same vessel.
