Description: | A Post Medieval incomplete lead alloy toy plate (AD18th century). This plate or charger has a twisted rope border then there is a wide border decorated with fleur-de-lys. The centre of the plate is decorated with a basket of flowers. Just under half of the plate is missing and there is a crack in the remaining half. There is some mineral staining and concretions on this object, most likely from the deposition environment.The basket of flowers is very similar to a toy picture depicting a still life. Hazel Forsyth notes it would be very unusual to have a circular picture at this date so this object is more likely to be a very ornate plate or charger perhaps mimicking a Delft pattern.Dimensions: Diameter: 38.85mm; thickness: 0.82mm; weight: 2.72g.Identification by Hazel Forsyth, Senior Post Medieval Curator, Museum of London
