A gift to the gods or a cache in a crisis: pewter in Roman Britain

Pewter from wrecks identified
Jan Gadd

The author discusses two pewter bowls discovered near Port Talbot after heavy storms in 1989 and in 1995, close to the wreck site of the Ann Francis (sank in 1583). The bowls are identified by their marks as having been made by two late-sixteenth-century London pewterers. A pewter bowl and plate from the wreck of La Trinidad Valencera of the Spanish Armada (sank in Kinnagoe Bay, North Donegal in 1588) are also discussed and identified as having been made by the English pewterer Nicholas Collier.
