£130.00

A stunning, incredibly heavyweight piece of English social history, this early 18th-century "sadware" pewter plate features a broad, flat-edged rim hand-engraved with the initials ‘S & W’—likely commemorating the original husband and wife. Possessing a gorgeous, honest patina earned through centuries of use, it stands as a beautifully simple display piece for the serious collector of early metalware.

  • Dimensions: 24cm Diameter (9.5")

  • Material: Heavyweight English pewter

  • Era: Circa 1700–1740 | London, UK

  • Condition: Excellent, characterful antique condition. Features authentic surface marks, an aged patina, and one very old, stable split to the rim that underscores its 200+ year story.

  • Conscious Packaging: 100% plastic-free, recyclable, and biodegradable.

  • Complimentary Delivery: Dispatched via Royal Mail Tracked 48.

Additional comments: The reverse bears a Crowned X—a mark introduced in the late 17th century to signify an exceptionally high-quality alloy—alongside a partial London touchmark and four pseudo-hallmarks. In antique metalware, "sadware" denotes heavy, flat chargers and plates that formed the backbone of the English home before the widespread adoption of ceramics.
