Description: | A Post-Medieval small pewter dish (late 16th to early 17th century). The dish has been cast and is circular in shape with a flat rim (16.35mm wide), the dish is 18mm deep; it is undecorated. There is a pewterer's touchmark in the middle of the underside of the dish, half of which is indistinct indicating that it was slightly misstruck. The part of the touchmark that is evident shows the initials HS with a barrel beneath, all within a pelleted border. This touchmark is not listed in Cotterell (1929) nor Jackson (1970). The owner's initials: RC are hammered on the upper side of the rim. The first initial is indistinct and may not be an 'R'. Dimensions: diameter: 114.30mm; thickness: 18mm; weight: 107.29g.Identification and dating by Tony Pilson and Ian Smith based on foreshore context. Ian McIntre reshaped the dish.References: Cotterell, H. H. 1929. Old Pewter. Its Makers and Marks. Batsford, Glasgow.Jackson, R., 1970. English Pewter Touchmarks. W. Foulsham & Co. Ltd: Slough
