Intact earthenware olive jar with encrustation from the 1715 Fleet. 5.98 kg, 21" tall, 10" in diameter. Some of the more impressive shipwreck artifacts, while technically common but rarely found intact, are earthenware vessels like this one, basically tall, handleless jugs with round bottoms and rolled lips, used for all kinds of liquid and dry goods (like olives, which they sort of resemble in shape). This sturdy, symmetrical example has a flatter bottom than most and is more elongated, with lots of light-colored encrustation, especially on shoulders, reddish toning all over. From the 1715 Fleet.
