Abstract
The authors discuss a 16th century stone mold used for casting spoons, which was found in Coventry. The type of stone used, surface markings, and defects are noted, with their respective uses and cause being surmised. Based on the visible evidence, the authors conclude that the mold was used to cast pewter. -- AATA
