Pitcher jug
This jug was made in France and was one of many pottery fragments which had been used to fill in a late medieval lime kiln in Trichay Street, Exeter. The pitcher has two short handles, and one larger one the spout. It is decorated with a mid-green glaze, and a wavy line is incised on the rim. The fabric and glaze differ from Saintonge pottery, so it likely to come from somewhere else in France.
The Exeter: a Place in Time (EAPIT) project has recently carried out research on medieval French pottery from Exeter.
