Description: | Pewter toy cauldron with three feet (two missing) and two square handles. The object is distorted in shape. The circular base has been added separately and there are two seams from casting at the sides. There is a beaded, slightly folded rim. There are two decorative motifs on the sides and one on the inside of the base:
On one side is a circular garland of leaves and berries with a bow at the bottom. Inside this is an inner oval beaded ring containing the makers mark IDQ (ID above Q), a known London toy-maker.
On the other side is the same garland motif but in the centre is the date 1640 with four pellets within circles at the corners, one flower above the date (6 pellets and a central one) and one flower below (4 pellets and a central one with four leaves).
Inside the base is a triple 5-petal rose with pellets in rings above each petal, in a double circle.
There is a circular depression below the base (18mm diameter). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1640 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Eleanor Ghey | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
