Tankards & Mugs

Photo of Bonynge Pint Mug
Price: $195

Robert Bonynge was an 18th century Boston pewterer whose working dates were 1731-63. Surviving examples of this man’s pewter are rare. Today, 18th century American mugs with fishtail terminal handles which exist are as scarce as hen’s teeth.

We would like to thank our friend Wayne Hilt of Hilt Pewter for his help in creating this handle pattern from an original example. We love...

Photo of Gibson Pint Mug
Price: $195

The Gibson Pint Mug is similar to those used throughout Britain in pubs in the mid-19th century. The tapered sides of the mug coupled with the flattened handle terminal present a pleasing design that was built for rigorous daily use.

photo of Hamlin Pint Mug
Price: $195

The Hamlin Pint Mug is a handsome form. It is a reproduction of a mug made in the late 18th century by Samuel Hamlin and later, by his son Samuel E. Hamlin, both of Providence, RI. I seem to have a natural affinity for the Hamlins since I too grew up in Providence, and learned the pewtering craft from my father as well.

Photo of Tulip Pint Mug
Price: $195

The Tulip Pint Mug is probably the most graceful drinking vessel that I make. As my father used to say, “all the curves are in all the right places.” It shares the same type of scroll handle as the Hamlin Mug which fits wonderfully in one’s hand. I call it a pint mug, but it actually holds about 20 ozs.

Photo of Whitmore Pint Mug
Price: $195

The Whitmore Pint is my new favorite mug. Jacob Whitmore was a fine 18th century Connecticut pewterer and this piece is a tribute to him. The ball terminal handle is a beautiful thing to look at and it feels great in one’s hand. Many thanks to fellow pewter enthusiast and antique pewter dealer, Wayne Hilt, for helping me to create this wonderful new handle.

Photo of Gibson 24 oz Mug
Price: $195

The Gibson 24 oz Mug, formerly known as the Gibson Tankard, was our very first mug design. My sister, Lauren, convinced my father sometime in the summer of 1978 that we needed to add such a drinking vessel to our then, rather thin product line. Lauren created the pattern for the handle which is quite beautiful and unique. We had an old wooden chuck in the shop already which was suitable for...

Photo of  Dome Lidded Quart Tankard
Price: $375

The Dome Lidded Quart Tankard is an original design inspired by all of the finest 18th century design elements. The ramshorn thumbpiece, the low double dome lid, the low fillet line detail on the body, and the classic handle with boot-heel terminal all combine to create an eye-catching form that would be a welcome addition to any pewter collection. Also a numbered series.

Photo of Tulip Pint Mug with Acanthus Leaf Handle
Price: $195

New Product!

18th century pewter mugs and tankards with acanthus leaf handle designs are quite  rare and therefore quite desirable to collectors. I was fortunate to acquire an 18th century English export tulip shaped quart mug with acanthus leaf handle last year. That mug was the inspiration for this smaller pint mug. The acanthus leaf motif, an elegant feature, was also used on some...

photo of Strap Handle Quart Mug
Price: $225

The Strap handle Quart Mug is an original design inspired by those made in New England in the 18th century. The high fillet line detail on the body and the boot heel handle terminal are characteristic features of these kinds of mugs. It’s a beautiful form that is fun to look at and use!

Photo of  Dome Lidded Pint Tankard
Price: $275

The Dome Lidded Pint Tankard is a scaled down version of it’s cousin, the Quart tankard. However, the crown thumbpiece and its hinge are a different style. This is a beautiful tankard and perhaps my favorite. Collectors of antique pewter covet tankards. All agree that the pint capacity tankards are scarce indeed. You’ll enjoy using it! Also a numbered series.

Photo of  Flat Lidded Pint Tankard
Price: $275

The Flat lidded Pint Tankard is same as the Dome Lidded Pint Tankard, with a low, flat lid. A wonderful form and also a numbered series.

photo of Cowlishaw Pint Mug
Price: $195

Walter I. Cowlishaw was a Boston pewterer and silversmith whose working dates were 1890 - 1925. I was fortunate to acquire most of Cowlishaw’s antique molds from second generation pewterer, John Starvish, Jr. several years ago.

Most of the molds are engraved with Cowlishaw’s initials, “W I C”. The handle on the Cowlishaw Pint Mug is hollow cast using the original bronze mold! The handle...

photo of John Townsend Tulip Pint Mug
Price: $195

The John Townsend Tulip Pint Mug with ball terminal handle is a classic form and a reproduction of a period example in my collection. John Townsend is probably the most widely recognized 18th century English Export pewterer. He worked in London from 1748 until his death in 1801. He had a number of partnerships and was succeeded by his Son-in-Law and Grandson.

Porringers

Photo of  Large Lee Basin Porringer
Price: $125

The Lee Basin Porringer is the largest in our product line with a bowl that measures 6″ in diameter. The Basin Bowl type has a flat bottom, a slightly tapered side, and a narrow, flared rim. The flower handle design on the Lee Porringer is a unique form, made only by Richard Lee and Richard Lee, Jr. The handle is beautiful and balances well with the larger bowl.

Photo of  William Bradford, Jr. Porringer
Price: $125

The William Bradford, Jr. Porringer is yet another 18th century “Old English” type handle with a large (pint) bowl with two incised lines in the rim. Bradford was active in New York City between 1719- 1785, and surviving examples of this man’s work are rare. This is one of my favorite porringer handles.

Photo of  Small Heart Handle Porringer
Price: $75

The Small Heart Handle Porringer is a reproduction of a late 18th, early 19th century American piece whose exact maker has yet to be identified. The handle is sweet with its three hearts and crescent moon apertures. This is a very popular baby gift!

Photo of  Dolphin Handle Basin Porringer
Price: $125

The Dolphin Handle Basin Bowl Porringer is another classic style which I love. It was inspired by an original example made by Samuel Danforth, Hartford, CT , 1795 -1816. Many thanks to friend, fellow pewter enthusiast and antique pewter dealer, Wayne Hilt, for helping me create this rare handle design!

Photo of  Geometric Handle Porringer
Price: $125

Last summer, I acquired a rare 18th century geometric handle porringer at auction. I’ve waited many years to find one, and with it for inspiration, we now have our 8th different large porringer handle design!

Photo of Medium Porringer, “Old English” Handle
Price: $95

The Medium Porringer with Old English Handle has a new look. We’ve abandoned the basin bowl and gone to the larger, 4.25″ bowl used on the Flower Handle and Med. Jones Porringers.

The Old English Handle is larger than is predecessor as well. The overall length of handle and bowl on this porringer is 6″.  A classic form with many potential uses!

 

Photo of Crown Handle Porringer
Price: $125

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...

Photo of Medium Porringer, Flower Handle
Price: $95

The Medium Porringer Flower Handle is a piece my father reproduced many years ago. I believe he copied a 19th century porringer made by the Cincinnati, Ohio firm of Flagg & Homan. It is a wonderful handle design. Most medium size porringer bowls are 4.25″ in diameter.

Photo of Large Jones Porringer
Price: $125

The Large Jones Porringer is a reproduction of one made in the late 18th century by Providence, Rhode Island pewterer, Gershom Jones, circa 1774 -1809. This was the first piece my father reproduced years ago. It is also special because I grew up in Providence.

Photo of  J. Bassett Porringer
Price: $125

I introduced the John Bassett Porringer several years ago. John Bassett was active in New York City circa 1720 – 1761, and surviving examples of his work today are very rare. His sons Francis and Frederick were also skilled pewterers who produced excellent wares.

This Bassett Porringer has a 5.25″ (pint) bowl with two incised lines on the rim and an “Old English” type handle. Another...

photo of Small Billings Porringer
Price: $75

The Small Billings Porringer is a reproduction of one made by late 18th century Providence, Rhode Island pewterer, William Billings, circa 1791-1806. The attractive flower handle is referred to as the “pagoda” type based on the distinctive shape of the handle tip. This would be an ideal baby porringer! We can stamp the child’s first initial on the handle’s central shield.

Photo of  Large Melville Porringer
Price: $125

The Melville Porringers are reproductions of ones made in Newport, Rhode Island in the 18th century by David Melville, circa 1755–1793. This kind of handle is referred to as the Solid, Rhode Island type. I enjoy the simplicity of the handle design and it is perhaps the strongest handle I make. Original examples of this type of porringer are scarce.

Cups & Goblets

Photo of Baby Cup (straight sides)
Price: $75

The Baby Cup with straight sides is my best seller with its wide base, rolled lip, and bullet proof handle. Neither of my kids could destroy their baby cups! Two incised lines at the top and bottom add a nice decorative touch.

The Museum of the American Revolution owns 10 of the original set. My...

Photo of 1.5 Ounce Jigger
Price: $30

Before Christmas 2012, a good customer asked me to make a 1.5 Ounce Jigger. Thinking this might be a good seller, I agreed to the project. Sales of these have been off the charts! So we’ve made new chucks and decided to go into production in 2013. Each Jigger has Five incised lines; two near the lip, two near the base and one on the top interior at the 1.5 oz. level. Made with extra heavy...

Photo of Sonoma Goblet

Pewter Martini Goblet
Price: $125

Personal preferences aside, cocktail fanciers everywhere can agree that the martini is the classic supreme. This elegant cocktail is the Fred Astaire of mixed drinks. So when a customer asked me to design a martini goblet, I came up with several prototypes, but ultimately came back to the classic style. Like the drink itself, our Martini Goblet is long and lean, cool and sophisticated.

Photo of Woodgrain Beaker
Price: $75

The Woodgrain Beaker is perhaps the most interesting cup we make. My Father and I created this cup at the suggestion of Jonathan Fairbanks, former curator of American Decorative Arts, Museum of fine Arts, Boston around 1992.

Jonathan saw our Child’s Cup with the birch grain interior and asked us to make something taller, without a handle. This cup was the end result and one of the early...

Put a pint of your favorite beverage in the Wood Grain Pint Beaker and enjoy the look and feel of this unique vessel.

Photo of Stem Goblet
Price: $125

The Stem Goblet is a beautiful form. It’s our oldest wine goblet design and has been a favorite for many years. It’s also one of the most difficult pieces I make. The cup and the stem are extremely complex forms to shape on the metal spinning lathe. It’s the kind of work I do when no one is around to hear me shout.

Photo of Baby Mug
Price: $125

The Baby Mug seems to scream “baby boy!” Fortunately, many a young lass has received this cup as well. I made the first one of these for my nephew years ago, even though his family lives in wine country of northern California.

The Salad Bowl is big and beautiful. My father and I used to spin these together, each of us holding a spinning tool, he on the outside, forming and my following stick on the inside, preventing the 15 inch disc from waffling at the outer edge. It always looked like a tug of war. Today, I’ve mastered the process with a tool in each hand. It’s still a battle, but the end result is well worth it...

photo of Heart Keyring
Price: $20

Our pewter Heart is a special piece. My sister Lauren carved the first model out of wood back in the 1970s, and my father pressed the wooden heart in some moist plaster. Our first hearts were cast in this open mold. I still have the original mold and some of the early castings.

Over time, we’ve refined the heart so that it is smaller and easier to carry. We’ve also improved upon the...

Communion Sets

Photo of J. Gibson Pewter Chalice
Price: $275

The J. Gibson Chalice is an original design. At nearly 9″ in height, it’s the tallest chalice I make.

It shares the same base and shaft of the Dunham Candlestick, and the cup is from the Jumbo Tumbler. Pewterers in the 18th and 19th century mixed and matched parts too!

Each one of our chalices has a rich and gleaming finish.

Photo of R. Gibson Pewter Chalice
Price: $275

The R. Gibson Chalice was my dad’s first chalice design. He was a Congregational Minister as well as a pewterer, so this piece had a special place in his heart.

As a result of his connection to the United Church of Christ, his chalices were presented, from time to time, to various church leaders in sister churches on other continents. This is truly a beautiful chalice.

Photo of Leddell Pewter Chalice
Price: $250

The Leddell Chalice is an adaptation of an 18th century chalice made by Joseph Leddell, Sr. of New York City, circa 1740s. The original is taller, with an unusually large cup. We scaled the cup down somewhat and the proportions now seem right.

I’m pretty sure my father’s inspiration for this project was seeing a photo of an original example from the New Haven Colony Historical Society...

Photo of 7″ Pewter Paten
Price: $85

The 7″ Paten is actually the Gibson 7″ Plate. It is the size most often used as a paten with any of our chalices. Sometimes and 8″ Paten is chosen. Each has a smooth rim (no rolled edge) and an incised line about 1/4″ from the outside edge.

Photo of Traveling Pewter Chalice
Price: $195

The Traveling Chalice looks quite similar to the R. Gibson Chalice. A number of Clergy have recently asked me to design and make a small chalice. I’m quite pleased with the final design, and judging from the brisk sales, I’d say these little beauties are here to stay. The overall height is 4.25″.

Pewter P. Young Chalice
Price: $275

The Peter Young Chalice  is  considered by pewter collectors to be an iconic 18th century American form. Ledlie Laughlin described Young’s chalices as, “lovely vessels. Their exquisite design was, as far as we know, Young’s own composition - one of the few designs made in America that is not know to have a counterpart in European pewter.”  A graceful form, standing 8.5” tall.

photo of Antique American Heart Handle Porringer
Price: $250

This is a wonderful example of an antique American Heart Handle Porringer. To date, no maker has been assigned with certainty to these 19th century porringers. Some have an “R” cast on the underside of the handle leading some to speculate that R. Lee, or R. Gleason might be the maker. The jury is still out. This example is in fine condition and has great turning lines on the base as well as a...

Photo of Antique Crown Handle Porringer
Price:

Ever heard the expression, “not worth a tinker’s dam?” In the eighteenth century porringer handles were cast or burned directly to the finished porringer bowl. Expanding metal tongs, wrapped with linen, held the porringer bowl from the inside while the handle mold was placed carefully on the outside. Molten pewter was poured into the handle mold and bonded to the bowl, hence the term, “burned...
