AMERICAN LIFE ANTIQUES
American Pewter Coffee/Tea Sugar and Creamer, ca. 1830 -1840
A very good matching lidded 19th c. American pewter sugar bowl and creamer with strap handles, most probably
Connecticut and possibly attributed to the Boardman group of Hartford Connecticut.
Except for some top and interior pitting in the sugar bowl, the unmarked set is in excellent condition. The sugar
bowl stands approximately 7" to the top of the wooden button finial and has a 3-1/2" base. The creamer stands
about 4-1/2" tall to the rim and has a 3-1/8" base.
The attribution is based on a very similar creamer with a broken C type handle (see American Pewter in the
Museum of Fine Arts Boston #333 on page 93). The handles on this creamer match handles known on
Boardman attributed pieces (see Thomas Connecticut Pewter and Pewterers fig 158, page 141). A similar
broken handle is also known on pieces by William Savage of Middletown Connecticut (see Ebert Collecting
American Pewter page 77). Similar strap handles are also known on Ashbil Griswold pieces (see Ebert page 75).
