The Beaded Edge Ladle was inspired by a similar type of ladle made by 18th century Philadelphia pewterer, William Will. Will’s ladle has a solid handle with no hook hole. The beaded edge on the bowl is applied as the piece is turning slowly on the lathe, just the way it was done in the 18th century. The handle is quite sturdy, and has a wonderful feel and balance in the hand.

The Gleason Chamberstick is one of my father’s earliest reproduction pieces. Somewhere in my files I actually have the original drawings he used to copy the original which was in our shop for repairs.
Customers have loved this piece from the very beginning. This original would have been made by Gleason in the 1820s before his whale oil lamp production commenced in the 1830s.

Tall and beautiful, the Push-Up Candlesticks are an original design. There is a brass rod which is attached to a platform within the socket. The rod extends down through the shaft and through the underside of the base. There a small brass knob is threaded to the rod. Atop the platform is a nickel which has been soldered in place.
I sometimes refer to these “sticks” as my Jefferson Ejectors. The push-up feature is used in those instances when the candle burns low and into the socket. The candle stub can easily be pushed out without enlisting the aid of a kitchen knife! Try to avoid letting candles burn this low as the pewter can become damaged.

It has sturdy, wide base and a nicely flared lip to catch any stray wax. Each candleholder comes with a locally made scented candle.

The Tavern Lamp is a reproduction of a piece made in New York City in the 1840′s by the pewter lamp making firm of Capen & Molineux. They made many different styles of oil and camphene lamps. Some surviving examples are even equipped with lard oil burners.
Our lamp has the single, taller, camphene burner and a wonderful scroll handle. This was a portable lamp that would have been used in many ways, including lighting the way to one’s bed chamber after dark. The single burner produces a soft, mellow light. All lamps come with instruction and a free bottle of lamp oil.

The Gleason Bullseye Whale Oil Lamp is a great lighting device. The original was patented in the 1830s by Roswell Gleason, of Dorchester, Massachusetts, as a work light. These lamps are also referred to as lacemakers’ lamps.
The glass lenses magnify the light of the flame and the shade above the lens which is slightly canted, focuses the light for in close hand work, or reading. Gleason made a single lens lamp, as well as a double lens lamp so that two people could share the light source.
I won the Stevens Metal Award at the 2003 Annual Juried Exhibit of The League of New Hampshire Craftsmen with this reproduction. Original examples of this lamp are hard to find, especially with the lenses intact. All oil lamps come with instructions and a free bottle of lamp oil.

The Granny Vase got its name from one of our good customers who happened to be in the shop the day my father made the first one many years ago. When my father asked for a potential name, she thought a moment, and then said, “call it the Granny Vase. It will be great for those occasions when the grandchildren run up with a hand full of flowers and say, ‘I picked them all for you granny’.” The name stuck and the vase has been a very popular gift item ever since.

The Dunham 2 Quart Water Pitcher is a classic mid-19th century design. Dunham was active in Westbrook, Maine from 1837-1861 and was a fine craftsmen. Several firms produced lidded and unlidded pitchers in this style. Capacities varied from 1.5 quart up to one gallon.
I owned and copied a Dunham pitcher several years ago. Unlike the original whose body is made from multiple castings, our body is made from a single piece which means it will never leak. The pitcher pours beautifully and has graceful lines. Makes a great gift!

The Crown Handle Porringer is a reproduction of an 18th century porringer that I believe was made in Boston.
It has a 5.25″ diameter bowl which was referred to as a pint capacity. These were multi-purpose vessels that were used to eat from, to drink from and to use as measures. In fact, if you look at the inventories of 18th century pewterers, they list the porringers by their capacity. The crown, or coronet handle is a wonderful design.
