AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of 19th-century pewter pitchers in 18th-century style, comprising a large model and a matching small model.

Both pieces feature an elegant baluster shape with a shoulder, resting on a flared base. The swing handles with acorn-like terminals and the traces of hinges testify to a manufacture inspired by tavern and inn pitchers from the 17th and 18th centuries.

The undersides of each pitcher bear a worn circular hallmark that is no longer easily legible, with traces of a name (...stron), a date (.730), and animals (swan? with 2 mini-leopards) bordered by a beaded line.

Beautiful patina with wear consistent with the objects’ age and traces of old restorations.

Characteristics
Material: pewter
Era: late 19th – early 20th century (in the style of the 18th century)
Origin: French hallmark
Decoration: sober, traditional wine or beer measurement form
Hallmark: present under the base

Condition: good overall, with wear and usage scratches and traces of old restoration

Dimensions
Large pitcher: height 25 cm – base diameter 14.3 cm – weight 1 kg 820
Small pitcher: height 18 cm – base diameter 9.2 cm – weight 788 g
