"Pewter Pitcher. Paris. End Of The 18th Century."
Shouldered shaped body. Skewed plinth foot. Straight cup. Flat cover. Broken S-shaped basket with molded crest. Creeping tongue. Double hinge. Flat handle. Raw finish with traces of mold still visible on the handle and the internal face of the lid. The absence of a hallmark can be justified by a late manufacture at the end of the 18th century, the revolution having suppressed both the collection of the tax on tin, and the corporations. Height to the lid: 21.5 cm. End of the 18th century. Very good condition. High density of metal. Beautiful homogeneous silky gray patina. Free shipping by COLISSIMO for mainland France.
