Description: | Post Medieval cast lead-tin alloy (pewter) toy, probably an open-mouthed ewer or jug. The piece has a circular foot with a slightly irregular broken edge and a raised ring running around it, this narrows at the connection with the main body with a second ring as it starts to widen out again. The foot is hollow on the base. The main body is circular at the base widening front and back to an oval shape at the broken top. The upper rim and most of the upper part is missing to corroded breaks. At the back it widens out only slightly and there are stubs of the handle on the casting seam down the centre. The front flares out very strongly to make a spout again with a casting seam running down the centre. It is plain with no decoration remaining on the sides.It is now 23.1mm tall, 23.8mm wide by 11.9mm and weighs 6.34 grams.It is similar in general form to Egan and Forsyth (2005:282-3) vessel Type 2, cup ewers or open mouthed ewers which they suggest are known form the early 15th century to the end of the 18th. It is wider than most of their examples and may have copied a small jug such as a cream jug.The plain form and shape is reminiscent of 18th century designs.
