Description

Description:
Antique English pewter triple reeded plate of 9.50 inch diameter with a semi-broad rim. The plate has a cast triple reeded edge and is finely hammered all over to include the rim. The front rim bears the hall marks of Thomas Powell of London who worked 1676 - 1715, opposite these is a very well struck London export stamp of two angels supporting a crown with 'London' under. Thomas Powell is recorded as being a prolific exporter of pewter, the style of this export stamp would suggest that this plate was destined for Europe. The rear of the plate has two partial 'rose & crown' touchmarks with a cross engraved between them.
Condition:
The plate is in excellent condition with a very lightly polished finish to the front, with traces of oxide in some of the hammer marks. The reverse is also lightly polished with some light oxide.
Repairs: There are no repairs.
Size: 9.50 inch diameter (24.20cm). The rim width is 1.375 inch (3.00cm) 25.00%.
