Hand Engraved "English delft fish" pewter ornament- made in Edenton North Carolina
$32.00
During the second half of the 18th century there were delft pottery painters in England that created a series depicting fish, sea monsters, and other "newly studied" creatures. One of the depictions on a Wincanton delft piece inspired the fish on this ornament.
This cast lead free pewter ornament was hand hammered to form.
The hand engraved decoration was completed using 19th century Jeweler graver tools in the ancient wriggle method.
Polished and finished by hand using sand, brick dust, and horsetail reed- just as colonial smiths would have used.
