Free shipping for mainland France via La Poste or Mondial Relay, at your convenience

*******************************************

Large ROUND pewter DISH with a wide plain wing called "à la cardinal", entirely forged.
Master's mark attributed to Jacques HENZELI received master in 1663: crowned hammer / two stars / IH
Diameter: 44.2 cm.
NEUENBURG (NEUCHÄTEL), SWITZERLAND, Last third of the 17th century

In excellent condition and of very good quality.
In a second hypothesis, Jonas HUGUENOD received master in 1677, is plausible.
The forging phase took place after the casting. The aim was to bring the metal molecules together by hammering all or part of the surface of the reverse of the dish, to obtain greater rigidity. This work remains apparent by its concentric circles of facet friezes left by the hammer.
