Antique Pewter Syrup Pitcher w/ Hinged Lid, Queen Anne Handle, Thumb Knob Lift
This is an outstanding pewter syrup pitcher with a beautiful Queen Anne style handle and a hinged lid with a working hinge. It has a sturdy and stylish thumb knob lift and a finial that looks like a sombrero.
It is quite interesting inside with multiple pouring holes—highly unusual for a piece of this type.
Purchased at auction from among a beautiful group of pewter collected by Charles W. Danforth of Baltimore, a proud member of the Pewter Collectors' Club and enthusiastic collector for over 15 years. Drawn to early American collections throughout New England and the Mid-Atlantic, this piece reflects the refined taste of a dedicated collector. This is a lovely piece that has stood the test of time; exactly as shown.
Approximate measurements (will vary slightly): 6 1/2" spout to handle, 3 1/8" diameter top opening (side to side), 3 5/8" diameter base, 6 1/2" high.
