Description
Pewter infant/sick feeder with swan’s neck spout. While we encounter swan’s head feeders in porcelain, this is the only pewter example we’ve seen in a museum collection, book or catalog. That is not to say that it is unique but it certainly is rare. Dating from the first-half of the 19th century it is likely Dutch but the mark is not sufficiently well-stuck to allow for identification. Height including spout =2.5″ or 6.25cm. Diameter of bowl at rim=2.5″ or 6.25cm. The spot on the base is the remnant of an old cellophane label.
