Description: | A Post Medieval cast lead-tin alloy (pewter) toy, probably an open-mouthed ewer or jug or cup. The piece has a circular pedestal foot with a slightly irregular broken edge. The foot is hollow on the base. The main body is circular (but slightly flattened) 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. The casting seam is visible. It is now 11.7mm tall, 18.6mm wide and 9.2mm thick. 2.19g.It can be compared to SUR-FE51C7, YORYM-85B571, WMID-6FEDE8 and SOM-EDA9A1 which notes that: "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 from the early 15th century to the end of the 18th. It [...] may have copied a small jug such as a cream jug.The plain form and shape is reminiscent of 18th century designs."
