Description: | Cast copper alloy vessel foot. A raised central ridge leading down to the flat base. L-shaped profile, tapering to a point at the base.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, superceeded by cast iron pots..."
