Offered is a scarce 15 inch single reed American Charger made by Thomas Badger of Boston, c 1787 - 1815. Marked with his Eagle mark and 'Boston' cartouche. This 15 inch Charger is in good condition. It does have some sporadic light pock marks to the surface and some light utensil marks across the surface but not overall pitting. Overall the surface is clean and good. 15 inch American Chargers are quite scarce and are the largest of American dishes one can expect to find. There are rare recorded larger American Chargers, but all are in museums. SOLD
Of note: There is a difference in nomenclature between American and English larger flatware pieces. American 'dishes' are 10" - 13" and 'chargers' are over 13". English 'dishes' are 10" - 18" and 'chargers' are over 18".
Shipping: Because of the size and weight of this dish and the escalating postage costs, the postage for this item will be the actual USPS Priority Mail cost from zip code to zip code.

Offered is a good Boardman beaker with a mug type ball terminal handle and bearing the mark of Boardman & Hart, New York, c 1825 - 1835. This beaker is 3 7/8" tall with a top dia. of 2 7/8" and a bottom dia. of 2 3/4".
The Boardmans are well known for their hundreds of pewter forms and many innovative or progressive, for the era. Trend setters if you will. This hard to find form of attractive and desirable beaker is a perfect example. Of the thousands of 3 inch range flared top beakers being produced and sold at the time, some handled, most not, some marked, most not, many not even attributable, the Boardmans elevated the common product with this attractive beaker with a raised and tooled base and raised band around the body, reminiscent of pint and quart mug designs, added features raising the quality and desirability of the product. At this time, c 1825, very few if any other pewterers went to this effort. There are much latter beakers by other pewterers with a base and handle leaning towards a "cup" from but not this early. At the time, it could have been unique to the Boardmans. This form is also found without a handle. See Connecticut Pewter and Pewterers by Thomas, page 143.
This beaker is in very good structural condition, with no damage, dents or subsequent repair. It does have a few small nicks from honest use and a few areas of light surface etching, mostly on the inside and outside bottom. SOLD
