Summary
Floor tile - Design 76 - The tile is large and plain with a dark green glaze. Potentially 14th to 15th century. This design is not in the Burnett-Brown Tile Collection Report. The tile is in good condition but potentially more fragile as most of the tile is thinner than It was originally because a lot of the tile is missing underneath. There is a thick layer of shiny glaze across the tile, but there are patches where the glaze has worn enough for it to become dull. The top surface is a little pitted. There are patches of glaze on two sides. On the reverse a lot of the tile is missing therefore, it is hard to tell id there was originally a scoop. There is also some mortar attached to the bottom.
