Repousse coin pitcher by A.E.Warner, Baltimore, c.1830

An early repousse pitcher with that classic baluster form. Very attractive repousse floral and scroll work with an inscription: " Mary. P. Stockett from Mary. D. Stillman". In very good condition, just a small ding in the foot. Andrew Ellicot Warner had a long and illustrious career from 1805, starting a partnership with his brother Thomas which was dissolved in 1812, until his death in 1870. He can certainly take credit for introducing, or reviving, the repousse decoration which was popularised by Kirk and other Baltimore silversmiths. Dimension: 8.75" high, 7.75" spout to handle. 18 T.oz.
