1 gen 1638 anni - doubler

Descrizione:

A doubler was a large plate or dish and examples of the word occur from the 1300s (OED). The dishes could certainly be made of pewter but wooden ones are also on record: 1546 <i>one wood dubler</i>, Leeds (Th19/169); 1585 <i>4 cheesefattes, a wood dubler, a chirne</i>, South Cave (Kaner130); 1592 <i>4 boules, 4 treene dublers</i>, South Cave (Kaner183); 1638 <i>one kit and a wood dubler</i>, Thorpe Willoughby (YRS47/143). In an undated deed, probably of the thirteenth century, <i>Hugh le dublerwrith</i> was said to be living in Adwick, a specialist wood-worker, so perhaps the article was usually made of wood in that period (YRS39/65).
