Boardman & Co. Set of Four Pewter 10-3/4" Dishes
pewter was made in Hartford Connecticut by Thomas Danforth Boardman and his brother Sherman. The
Boardman group made pieces that emulated the best of 18th century designs. These dishes work exceedingly
The dishes all have the quality X touchmark. Two dishes have two of the Boardman & Co. New York eagle
touchmarks, as well as the N-York rectangle mark. Of the two dishes where the Boardman & Co eagle is found
singly, it is flanked by two no-name eagles. Note the similarity of the four-point marking pattern on each dish, but
also note that two dishes (one of each type) are struck in a more narrow pattern than the other two, suggesting
two different strikers.
Dishes like these often found church use. In excellent overall condition, there are a few dings in the dishes.
