I wonder if this is more likely to be a tankard handle / fitting rather than one for a mirror - it is difficult to tell from a record without images but from the description it seems more likely to be tankard related than those for mirrors. see HESH-B30272 for a discussion and references for this type of tankard and also LIN-96EDE3 for a complete example. If there were images on file I would be happy to review comment further Peter Reavill FLO Salop / Heref
oops: just noticed that JD is the second identifier on this so is probably a mirror fragment - afterall he is likely to know much more than me
