19th Century Pewter Plate with Handle – "Les étains de la tour" - 2Y225
A Remarkable Piece of 19th Century Craftsmanship
Step back into the early 19th century with this exquisite pewter plate bearing the distinguished mark "Les étains de la tour." Crafted during the 1820s from 95% tin, this piece embodies the practical elegance of French pewter smithing during a period of remarkable artistic and industrial development. Each detail tells a story of daily life from two centuries past.
Historic French Pewter Markings
The plate features clear, legible markings that authenticate its origin and composition. "Les étains de la tour" identifies its manufacturing heritage, while "Block Zin 95%" confirms the high tin content that characterizes quality pewter from this era. These stamps represent the pride and craftsmanship of French metalworkers.
Elegant Form with Functional Design
The plate's generous 18 cm diameter and practical handle create both a beautiful and functional serving piece. The raised edges and substantial depth make it ideal for serving bread, fruit, or other culinary offerings, while the handle ensures comfortable carrying and elegant presentation at table settings.
Characterful Patina of Age
This piece displays the authentic patina that only centuries can bestow. The surface shows gentle scratching from careful use and a soft oxidation that speaks to its history. These characteristics enhance rather than diminish its appeal, offering the opportunity to preserve its current state or restore its original luster through polishing.
Substantial Weight and Presence
Weighing 501 grams, this plate has the substantial feel that distinguishes quality pewter from lesser metals. The weight distribution balances perfectly in hand, demonstrating the thoughtful design that went into creating pieces meant for both daily use and special occasions in 19th century households.
