Very beautiful patina
--------------------
Marked on the base "[...] * FIN * / CRISTA / [.. .] "for ETAIN / FIN / CRISTA / LIN [1st title]
This hallmark can refer to Jean-Jacques REUCHLIN (1717-1779) or to his son Frédéric (mentioned between 1750 and 1805), pewter potters from Strasbourg settled in Lausanne in 1750 [bourgeois of Prilly in 1759].
Indeed, if the "Etain fin cristalin" hallmark is frequent in French-speaking Switzerland, the one used by the Reuchlin is the only one in the Schneider & Kneuss to present two stars on either side of the word "FIN".
