Overview
A vintage three-piece pewter group: a creamer, an open sugar bowl and a small plate. The creamer has a rounded body, a wide pouring lip, a scrolled handle and a stepped round foot. The sugar bowl has a flared rim and a matching stepped foot, and the plate has a wide flat rim around a shallow center. All three have a soft, matte gray finish. The group suits a cupboard, open shelf or farmhouse table, and works well for display.
Background
Pewter, a tin-based alloy, was widely used for everyday tableware, and simple footed creamers and sugar bowls like these were made in large numbers through the 20th century. The underside of the plate has a stamped mark with a small emblem and the words "... ALLOY" and "N.Y.C.", partly worn, and there is a small stamp near its rim. The creamer has two small round marks on its side. The maker has not been identified, and the plate may not have been made with the other two pieces.
Condition
Pre-owned with scratches, small marks and uneven gray patina on all three pieces, plus some light rust-colored spots on the plate. The sugar bowl's foot ring has a visible split along one side. The creamer's handle is firmly attached. The pieces have not been polished, and they are sold for display rather than food use. Please see all photos.
Dimensions & Weight
The creamer is 3.5 x 3.5 x 2.5 inches (H x W x D). The sugar bowl is 2.1 inches high and 3.7 inches across. The plate is 6 inches across. The three pieces weigh about 1 lb 4.5 oz together.
