Toy bridge-spouted ewer. The lid and its connecting pin are missing. The vessel has an everted rim with a pouring lip, a ring hinge and a pedestal foot. There are bands of geometric decoration with gadrooning. The spout is partially cross-hatched. This toy ewer imitates full-size versions which would have been used for pouring water for washing diners' hands after meals. Reference: Forsyth, H. & Egan, G. (2005): Toys, Trifles & Trinkets.
