There is a dimple inside the base of the cup (in line with the spike). On the outer edge of the cup at one side is an incomplete semi-circular sectioned projection. The cup may have been filled with enamel, none of which survives.Similar objects are recorded on the database, numbers DENO-410643 (Hazelwood, Derbyshire), DENO-C68707 (South Wingfield, Derbyshire), DENO-3344F6 (Derbyshire - no parish) & NARC111 (Bishop Auckland, Durham).
