A saucer with a narrow rim, deep well and domed base. The rim has been reinforced on the underside and has been struck with two letters ‘? and ‘M’ in Lombardic style. No other marks. Slices of stale bread ('trenchers') were used as plates, and were often gathered up and distributed to the poor after a feast. By the mid-1500s bread trenchers were replaced with wooden platters and pewter or silver plates.
