Large, cast pewter plate. One of a group of three plates found together. Circular plate with ovolo decoration on the beaded edge of the rim. The rim is wide and angled down slightly, probably as a consequence of the pewter sagging over time. Indeed the rim is starting to split from the body of the plate in some places. The plate is dished from the inner edge of the rim before rising again to a convex middle. This is also as a consequence of the deformation of the plate as it prevents the footring at the back from making contact with the any surface the plate is on. At the very centre o…
