Description: | An incomplete cast lead-tin alloy (pewter) toy, probably an open-mouthed ewer or jug of post-medieval date. The toy has a circular pedestal base above which rises the main vessel which was hexagonally faceted. The remains of a possible handle are represented by a stub on the vessel side. The rim and part of the upper portion of the toy is broken, however where it is complete a thin linear decorative border can be seen. The facet edges of the base are also decorated with beading. Similar artefacts are discussed in Forsyth and Egan (2005:282-3) and classed as vessel Type 2, cup ewers or open mouthed ewers, which they suggest are known form the early 15th to the end of the 18th century AD. The plain form and shape is reminiscent of 17th or 18th century designs.
