| Pewter porringer with an Old English handle similar to one used by
Frederick Basset, active 1761-1800, NYC and Hartford. See
Montgomery, Charles F., A History of American Pewter. E.P.
Dutton New York, 1978 ed. 146-47. The bellied bowl with a boss or slight
dome in the centor of a flat bottom has a 3 1/4" diameter. The
porringer is 4 7/8" from bowl to tip of handle and stands 1 1/8" tall.
The handle includes one heart. There is a possible repair to end
of handle, or may be a casting flaw. It appears that the handle
has been reattached to the bowl. (#4377) $250 |
