Description
Used, and in good condition, 6 fluid ounce kidney shaped pewter hip flask, with engraved fishing scenes on the front and back.
The flask is marked on the base: 'ENGLISH PEWTER' and 'SHEFFIELD ENGLAND' and carries the ABPC and Seahorse marks.
The ABPC mark stands for the Association of British Pewter Craftsmen,
whose members must make their objects to quality standards of
craftsmanship and alloy composition.
The Seahorse mark is only allowed for use by ABPC members on their
finest wares. The emblem comes from the coat of arms of the Worshipful
Company of Pewterers in the City of London.
The Company was authorised to police the industry following the granting of a Royal
Charter by Edward IV in 1473. The right no longer exists, but nowadays
the ABPC has a rôle monitoring standards through the licensing of this mark
to members.
Dimensions: height to shoulder - 107 mm; width - 84 mm; depth at the midpoint of the base -
21 mm
