Pewter pitcher with a shoulder shape and a flared base, short, straight, oblique cup and acorn thumb rest.
Worn, incompletely legible control mark: (crowned C) / (DI)EPPE / --- /.
Height: 18.8 cm.
DIEPPE (Upper Normandy), Mid-18th century
Rare provenance, only a few examples of this center are known.
The piece is in good condition, however, a filling at the bottom is noted.
The only vintages of the control noted to date for this center are those of 1744, 1749, 1771 and 1774. and between 1620 and 1800, only 22 master pewter potters have been listed to date.
The typology is clearly Upper Normandy.
