Description
This ceramic sherd from Fort Albany, Ontario, comes from a coarse earthenware vessel. It bears a dark reddish brown lead glaze on the interior, and a grey slip on the exterior. However it is likely that the vessel was originally glazed on both sides. This manufacture is consistent with utilitarian vessels from the 17th and 18th century.
