A large earthenware slipware vase with rope twist handles and sgraffito decorated with seaweed and two inscriptions, "Gwnewch pobpeth yn gymraeg" ( do everything in Welsh) and "Time and Tide tarry for no man." This large piece has a beautiful dark warm honey glaze and is probably the work of the Ewenney Pottery. It is likely that the vase was used in the kitchen to store seaweed for the making of the local south Wales delicacy Laverbread.
