Title
Post Medieval ewer spout (reverse and profile).
Description
English: A cast copper-alloy spout probably from a 15th-century pedestal-base ewer. In profile it forms a curvaceous shape, the edge which would be attached to the vessel is convex and semi-cylindrical. The terminal forms a broken edge, and this break is not too recent, but does not have the same patina as the surface. The surface of the spout has a mottled dark green/brown patina on the exterior and more brown on the interior. The length of the spout from the tubular broken terminal to the apex of the semi-cylinder portion is 33.92mm, and the width across the head is 17.79mm. It weighs 34.5g.

Lewis (1987, fig. 8A) illustrates a very spout, but has a dogs head as the terminal, and dates it to the 15th century. The spouts were fixed to pedestal-base ewers, but are normally now found detached.
