Description: | A Post Medieval lead alloy handle from a single-eared toy-sized porringer (AD1675-1700). The decorative openwork handle is broken at the junction with the bowl. The decoration includes the head and shoulders of a man with hair past his chin, wearing a crown and cinquefoil collar and fabric tied at his throat. Around the head is open work scroll decoration.
There are two others in the Museum of London collections attached to single-eared toy-sized porringers dated to the fourth quarter of the 17th century. The design is very similar but the faces of the figures are slightly different.
Identification by Hazel Forsyth, Senior Post Medieval Curator, Museum of London.
