- Lot Description
Western Europe, Netherlands / Belgium or Germany, ca. 18th to early 19th century CE. A fine pair of pewter serving plates with continental patterns and touchmarks on the underside. The smaller is marked with a crowned rose and the pewterer's initials "J.V.H." The crowned rose originated in 16th century England and was used on export wares and copied by continental pewterers who wished to compete / emulate the quality of English pewter. A partial touchmark on the small plate includes "J. Van" surrounding an angel, suggesting a Flemish maker. The smaller with clearer touchmarks has an etched rooster, plants, and a bee on the basin. The larger plate has heraldic crests that are touching and banner below with the faint name "Merodt," which is a German surname. It is likely this was a wedding gift or made to symbolize the marriage of two families. Size of larger: 13.75" Diameter x 1" H (34.9 cm x 2.5 cm)
The lead content in pewter is indicated by the angel quality mark that began in the 18th century - although there were no enforced regulations for the lead content or marks used, so the pewter's quality was never a sure thing for consumers in the day!
