Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pewter and the Amateur Collector The chief object of this book is to assist amateur collectors of old pewter plate to a reasonable knowl edge of the ware and to a direct understanding of their labours. Brevity, in a strict sense, has been deemed essential, as I especially wish to enlist the in terest of those who temperamentally are intolerant of study and yet earnest in their desire for results. Crit ical discernment and a fair conformity to facts have been striven for, but all who have written on the sub jcet of pewter probably recognise that it is the grave yard of congruent accuracy.

Excerpt: ... it.obviously was desirable that it should be limited in the alloy of which large vessels were made if they were successfully to serve their ostensible purpose. Of all English and continental ware which the collector is likely to acquire, it is in the public-house measures that lead will be found in greatest excess, and it is evident that a certain form of commercial sense clouded the usual acumen of the makers in this respect. As the marking of and marks on pewter plate are matters closely connected with the history of the guilds, this subject is treated in a succeeding chapter notwithstanding the fact that it is equally connected with the manner of making the old ware. That pewter was made by the masters of the craft, lovingly, is evinced equally in the beauty of form of most of the ware and in the workmanship displayed, a workmanship that has withstood careless handling, for centuries, of articles never especially cherished for the intrinsic value of the metal of which they were made. In the simple forms of nearly all standing vessels, with their proportionate values and gradations, one finds oftentimes a greater charm than in the richer and more highly decorated utensils of silver, and plate viii Portion of an English Plate showing results of the heavy efflorescent-like corrosion sometimes found on the ware. In this ease the plate has been cleaned, and the erosion of the surface disclosed (here shown at actual size) illustrates the reason for rejecting articles which are corroded beyond the degree of oxidisation normal to old and neglected ware.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chats on Old Pewter MY first volume on Pewter Plate was published in 1904, just at the time that the first Exhibition of Pewter was held at Clifford's Inn Hall. As it was the first in the field in its own department, for Mr. Welch's History of the Pewterers' Company did not attempt to treat the subject from any other than the historical, and, in some cases, the social point of view, it has been of use to many dealers and many collectors, who have acknowledged their indebtedness, and to some others, who have thought such acknowledgment unnecessary. These latter might have allowed me the copyright in my own mistakes, particularly in some obvious printers' errors.
