Description
18th-19th century A.D. With integral handle, incised '3/2 / LB' over two lines to one face. Cf. Taylor, K., Hull, G., 'Excavation of Post-medieval Features and a Dump of Late Eighteen-century Artefacts from 5/6-7 Market Street, Oxford' in Oxoniensia, LXVII, pp.313-357, fig.18. 4 kg, 40 cm high (15 3/4 in.).
Acquired 1990s-early 2000s. East Anglian private collection. In the Oxford post medieval levels, of the later material, the most interesting piece was a large fragment of stoneware flagon, substantially identical to our specimen, inscribed 'R, Gurden Roe Buck Oxford'. Trade directories of the mid-19th century show that a Richard Curden was proprietor of the Roebuck family and commercial hotel and posting house in Cornmarket Street. [No Reserve]
