| Description |
English: A Medieval to Post Medieval copper alloy vessel foot, probably from a cauldron, posnet or skillet. The size of this foot suggests a cauldron is the most likely vessel for it to have come from. The leg is sub-triangular, tapering towards the rounded point. The top end has a flattened area where it attached to the vessel.The vessels to which these were attached were usually of a tripod form and were widely used for food serving and cooking. Dates from from c1200 to c1750 AD. The length is 76mm, the width 52mm, and the weight is 211.43g. 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cast copper alloy vessels such as skillets remained in use for longer, 'bronze cauldrons in general seem to have been superseded in the early years of the 18th century by cast iron which were cheaper to make and more durable' (ibid; 22). |
