Knocker, G. M. (1956): 'Rectangular vessel with rounded base and flat ends, 6 3/4 inches wide and approximately 11 inches long with a depth of 2 3/4 inches. A rim 1 inch wide decorated with applied zig zag and dots runs round the vessel, the inside being ridged. The vessel is made of close red paste, with ends and base unglazed. The rim and inside carry dark olive-green glaze of good quality. This object is probably an Elizabethan wall tile meant to hold a candle. (Fig. 8(i)). (Fig. 10.8).'
