Description: | A post medieval lead alloy toy in the shape of a standing bowl (or 'flat cup'). It comprises of a bowl or cup section, which would have originally been circular and had a wide opening, connected to a foot. The foot would also have been circular in section, but it flares out away from the bowl (trumpet shaped) and is hollow, with an open base. The toy is undecorated apart from a lipped rim on the bowl and around the base of the foot. It is complete but has been flatten, and one external side of the bowl is covered in a thick and grainy white corrosion product; the rest of the object is a dark green-grey colour. The bowl now measures 36.9mm (which would also be its rough diameter originally) x 12.1mm (max.), and the foot 17.9mm (also roughly its diameter originally) x 11.1mm. The complete toy is 32.0mm in height and it weighs 13.27g.This style of vessel was popular in the late 15th to late 16th century. Similar standing bowls can be found in Egan and Forsyth 2005, page 294.
