Title
A fragment of post medieval glass drinking vessel with lead alloy mend dating 17th - 18th century
Description
English: A fragment of post medieval glass drinking vessel with lead alloy mend dating 17th - 18th century. The vessel has a square cigar stem type or type 3 (Brain, 2000, 2) and the remaining fragment comprises part of the stem. The fragment consists of the lower part of the cup-shaped bowl above a shoulder sloping gradually to a bulb. The bulb would have sat above the squat-cigar stem though only a small part remains. The break has occurred at the point where the shoulder meets the bulb. The glass is colourless. This style of vessel dates to the 17th-18th century.

An attempt has been made to repair the break by enclosing the stem within a lead alloy frame that is moulded to the contours of the vessel. This consists of a series of 3 rings running around the shoulder and above and below the bulb, with lead strips connecting the rings. Repairs using lead frames were common in this period as glass was so expensive and prone to breakage (Willmott, 2001, 96-97).

Dimensions: length: 37.52 mm; width: 26.38 mm; thickness of the bowl: 3.52 mm; weight: 17.32g.
