Description: | A small lead alloy Post-Medieval toy serving dish. The object is fairly shallow with a rounded base and a flattened outer rim. The upper surface of this rim is decorated with a moulded foliate design. Two trilobate handles extend from the outer edge of the rim at opposite sides to one another. There are two letters within a circle on the base, but these are worn and difficult to make out. The object shares a similar form (including the wide rim) and decoration with the circular vessel toys from the collections of the Museum of London illustrated by Forsyth and Egan (2005, pp.248-269), although the two handles are more common on toy porringers (ibid, pp.296-307). However, Geoff Egan (pers. comm.) suggests that this example may well have been produced by a local maker, which would explaining this hybridity. Egan (pers. comm.) suggests that it is likely to be of late 16th or early 17th century date.Length: 45.56mm, Width: 9.50mm, Diameter: 31.29mm, Weight: 9.62g
