Lower portion of ring-base vessel, that exploded resulting in loose sherds that became reattached during the firing process. The vessel is coated in a blue/green glaze, and this is what has helped to fuse the reattached pieces. However, there are two loose pieces that sit on the vessel. The foot of the vessel is visible on the underside.
