Description: | Late Post-Medieval pewter toy cup, missing its handle and with some edge damage. It stands 18.43mm in height, has a max.diameter of 24.29mm at the mouth (which has a beaded edge) and a min.diameter at the base of 13.39mm. It weighs 6.62g.The lip of the vessel overhangs the vessel itself in diameter. It narrows to a 7.85mm diameter waist above the base. Casting seams are visible on two sides of the toy, and both faces are decorated with a group of tiny pellets.Geoff Egan comments: This is from a series of toys dating to the late C18th/C19th as far as can be established at this stage (there is a lack of these from closely dated contexts).Cf.WILT-5F9135 from Bicester, Oxfordshire.
