TOULOUSE, 18th century
In very good condition.
In Toulouse, as in many other centers throughout the kingdom, the 1691 edict establishing the hallmark for pewterware was not strictly enforced. Here, even less so than elsewhere, as this hallmark, dated 1709, was used throughout the 18th century; therefore, it alone does not allow for the precise dating of objects bearing it.
