Description: | A cast copper alloy leg from a cauldron or skillet. A cast copper alloy vessel leg from a cauldron or (more likely) a skillet. The leg is D sectioned with a bulbous foot and a tapering leg/ There is a central longitudinal ridge. Date: Post Medieval - c. 1500 - 1800Dimensions: 33.96 mm x 25.16 mm x 13.28 mmWeight: 33.35gCast copper alloy vessels were widely used from c.1200-1800 for serving and cooking. Butler and Green (2003; 15) state 'there is evidence that (cast copper alloy) metal cooking vessels became increasingly common during the 13th and 14th centuries'. While certain specialist cast copper alloy vessels such as skillets remained in use later 'bronze cauldrons in general seem to have been superseded in the early years of the 18th century when their place was taken by cast-iron vessels which were cheaper to make and more durable to use.' (ibid: 22).
