Excellence In Pewter

It is with a heavy heart that i announce the passing of my beloved husband, Frank M. Powell, on April 1, 2024. Following is his obituary:

https://www.jamesterryfuneralhome.com/tributes/Frank-Powell

Frank Powell was truly a renaissance man, deeply passionate about pewter and dedicated to mastering all aspects of its craft. From repairing to buying and selling this old gray metal, his expertise was unparalleled. A born artisan and craftsman, Frank's skills extended far beyond pewter as he apprenticed as a young man to become a Journeyman Electrician, showcasing his versatility and thirst for knowledge. He held deep admiration for craftsmen of the past and carried on their legacy through his honest business practices, marked by profound knowledge and fairness. Even as his health wavered, Frank's drive never faltered. Whether customizing his beloved Mustang cars or meticulously assembling model cars, he exemplified a relentless work ethic and a restless spirit. A devoted father and husband, Frank's legacy is not only in his craftsmanship but also in the lasting love and pride he instilled in those around him. jill powell 7/28/2024

trask beaker cup chalices

offered is this unusual pair of 5 1/2" chalices. israel trask (BEVERLY, MASS 1813-56) is known for this unique design and these chalices are prime examples of his innovative styling. the cups are from castings he used for his beakers. the bases are his pear shaped pot lids. pewterers were skilled at using existing parts to create new forms as casting molds were costly. this form is never marked, but the castings are proof of the shop of israel trask. these have been found as components of trask communion sets. the rare chalices are in near mint condition.
