Title
A Medieval pottery incomplete whistle of Low Countries White Ware with green glaze dating 1480-1650.
Description
English: A late Medieval - early Post Medieval pottery incomplete whistle of Low Countries White Ware with green glaze dating 1480-1650. The whistle is the characteristic biconical shape with flaring foot and slightly flaring rim and tubular mouthpiece projecting from the shoulder. The fabric is a fine buff-grey with a mid green glaze covering the majority of the surface. There are a couple of small areas without a glaze, one of which appears to be where the whistle was abutting another vessel when stacked in the kiln. There is some damage to the foot, rim and end of the mouthpiece.

Dimensions: length: 48.70mm; diameter of body: 52.16mm; weight: 64.60g.
