Description: | A cast copper alloy vessel foot. The leg is rectangular in section, terminating in a simple outwardly turned pad like foot. No decoration is visible. This style of foot is common - more common in medieval contexts but also appearing in 17th century contexts.According to Butler, Green and Payne in Finds Research Group Datasheet 41, "From about Ad 1100, cast copper alloy vessels...were commonly used for downhearth cooking, with the vessel sitting among the embers or suspended over the fire. All but the poorest medieval or post-medieval households would have had at least one metal cooking vessel....These vessels gradually passed out of use between 1700 and 1850, supersede by cast iron pots..."
