A large and impressive late Stuart charger of exceptional scale, bearing quality marks consistent with the finest pewter production of the period.
A substantial English pewter charger of impressive diameter — 50cm (approximately 20 inches) — with a boldly cast triple-reeded rim, a form characteristic of the finest domestic and institutional pewter produced during the brief window of circa 1675 to 1715, and among the scarcest of all English pewter rim treatments.
The broad, flat rim surrounds a generous well with the characteristic surface patina of three centuries of use, including the honest knife scoring of long domestic service. To the reverse, the piece bears a maker's touchmark — as yet unidentified — together with a crowned X quality mark, denoting a harder alloy, a device which came into use in the late 17th century, and pseudo-hallmarks imitating silver assay marks in the manner characteristic of English chargers of this precise period.
The maker, whilst unidentified, was clearly working within the established London or provincial guild tradition. A rare survivor of this size and form.
Provenance: England. Late 17th century / early 18th century.
Material: Pewter.
Condition: Surface wear commensurate with age. Please refer to the images.
Dimensions: 50cm (19 3/4") Diameter
