POST MEDIEVAL TOY
1700
A Medieval Miniature toy bowl. Miniature bowls such as this one are thought to represent a pudding or flour basin as opposed to a tea bowl or punch bowl due to the plainness of design (Forsyth and Egan. 2005.110). This artefact although relatively plain incorporates a chevron design on the inside rim and two linear grooves running around the middle of the outside. Miniature kitchen wear such as toy bowls were thought to have been aimed at girls, with miniature knights for the boys (Forsyth and Egan. 2005.60).
