Title: Help please Peter or Chef
Post by: waltonbasinman on August 30, 2011, 05:38:13 PM
After being rained off last Friday I plan on hitting my new farm again tomorrow but wondered before going back if you had an idea on what this is and a possible date.

Not a scooby Paul so I'm really only guessing. The shape leads you to think that when complete it was domed and if a lid then the hole on the side could be an receiver for a matching "lug", the holes on it are obviously as was and the enamel looks very Roman so I'm going to plum for a lid from an incense burner. ::)  :-\

Sorry Paul, in the dark on this one apart from agreeing with Geoff on Roman.
