Description: | A Post Medieval lead alloy toy porringer (mid-late 17th century). This porringer is a Type 3 as distinguished by the single solid ear. It has a fairly deep bowl with a sloping profile and flat base. The internal surface is decorated with a central double rose motif with six petals; around the rose is a band of curvi-linear foliate decoration. Around the edge of the decoration are two concentric circles forming a border. The rim is decorated with diagonal lines perhaps depicting a twisted rope pattern.
The single ear is moulded to resemble two out-stretched wings with a central trilobed boss.
Dimensions: diameter: 35.17mm; weight: 6.00g.
