Abstract (en)

Describes six complete and one fragmentary tripod ewer found in Wales, and discusses their form, its origin, and their metallic composition. Six are simplified versions of a more elaborate prototype, and are of a type widely distributed and copied in Britain and northern Europe, which probably signals the general adoption of metal vessels in 14th c. households.
