english eighteenth century tureen

the first time i saw a piece like this was at a presentation by the museum during a national meeting of the pewter collectors club of america in williamsburg, virginia. they had recently acquired this example. theirs is the frontis piece in the book entitled “Pewter at colonial williamsburg” by john d. davis. the example that i am selling is unmarked but likely made by henry joseph of london, england and made between 1736 and 1792. the overall width of the piece is 11 3/8” and the height is 8 3/4”. the tureen is in good overall condition.
