    I see you've put this in the glass/pottery section but it appears to be metal, maybe pewter, from your photos. Is it actually some type of ceramic?

    It appears to be a porringer or tastevin with a mounted soldier, Roman maybe. Can you make out any of the text?

    It looks like a medieval seal in the center. If you can read some of the writing, you can probably place it exactly. How did it get so corroded?
