P 4122 andBroken all around. Groove at outer edge. Hard, grainy, black glaze and potting marks on inside. Est. diam. 0.16.
Chariot wheel.
For a similar though less carefully drawn chariot wheel, cf. the plate in Ferrara 2453 (CVA, Ferrara 1 [Italia 37], pl. 42 [1686]:2).
The glaze on the inside suggests that 1680 might have been some sort of receptacle, were it smoother and not so grainy. 1680 is not a lid because there is no trace of a knob, nor is there a hole for the attachment of a metal ring, and there is no evidence of a flange that would hold a lid in place.
