Pewter Wine Pitcher - Mantes, 18th Century

Free shipping for mainland France

**************

Pewter shouldered pitcher, oblique plinth foot, straight heel cup and S-shaped thumb rest with molded crest.
Control mark: crowned C / MANTE / 17(17).
Mark of Pierre DELAVIGNE received as master in 1715: crowned hammer / P.D.L / P (The second P for PONTOISE)
Height: 26.9 cm.
MANTES, Between 1717 and 1732

The P at the bottom of his mark means Pontoise where this master settled from 1717 to 1727, the date on which he returned to Mantes. He therefore does not appear to have changed his mark following his resettlement in Mantes.
Let us recall in passing that these pitchers were the wine measures of the Ancien Régime.
Very good condition.
