odile Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I went to a lovely medieval village called St Ursanne (in the Swiss Jura) and bought a fantastic large, heavy, fluted pewter dish for ...... CHF 5 = about 3 quid, a perfect match for a larger dish inherited from parents which dates from 1720s.Recently at a troc shop a large, heavy, wonderful shape pewter jug, about £8. I love pewter, and am so pleased nobody else seems to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 For our 10th wedding aniv, pewter, we bought a lovely Fench triple candle stick and 2 lovely wine jugs with hinged lids and acorn lid lifters (for want of a better description). I have always loved pewter and have an Edward 7th pint pot too which was my 'old mans'.Whenever we are in brocants I am always looking out for the nice pewter. The French is not a good a quality as the English, but they do so much more in elegant pieces. That's my opinion anyway.Congratulations on your finds Odile.
