Topic: miniature piggin or not?

Thanks, Nigel, for your fascinatinating and illuminating contribution here.
I won't be a mug punter about them again either.

I think much of the point that Nigel was making was.............    those with curved/hooked handles are without doubt purpose made - whereas those with straight handles could well have been cut from another object of approximately similar size.

Yes, I think that's about right Paul.

The problem with a rule of thumb like that is that they'll always be exceptions that will catch us out 

Parkington did have at least one piggin in his collection, as it was used for my tutorial  with him    I'm guessing it ended up in the gift to the Museum as you suggest Paul.

BTW - there ain't no mug punters on these here pages. Just them that wants to learn

Cheers, Nigel
