A 17th Century bronze cauldron, possibly by the Sturton Foundry, South Pertherton, Somerset, with angular handles and ribbed legs, and scratch-cast 'W' formed from two Vs crossed by a vertical diagonal line, and a faintly scratched 'N', diameter 29cm x height 23cm.
Footnote:
The cauldron is like, in terms of form and manufacture, cauldrons made by William Sturton II of the Sturton Foundry in Somerset. However, his mark was a conjoined W and M, very often accompanied by the 'four-arc' mark.
