n Pewter of the Western World, 1600-1850, Hornsby says that most
funnels are 18th century, few are marked and examples from different
regions are similar. This is the smaller of two funnels I'm
currently offering. This 5 1/4" funnel is a beautiful example of
utilitarian pewter. It has turned rings on the bowl and where the
cup meets the stem. It even has a strainer attached inside of the
cup. It's mellow darker grey patina is stunning. It might be
18th century as Hornsby suggests, but I think this is the younger of the
two funnels and might be early 19th century. The stem has a couple
of dents as you can see in the photos. The bowl diameter measures
4". (#3622) $85 |
