9” bassett plate
9” bassett plate
i am pleased to offer this fine single reed 18th century plate by frederick bassett of new york city, new york and hartford, connecticut. his working dates range from 1780 to 1799. he was a highly respected craftsman making pewter of quality. other than a few light scuffs from age, this plate is in mint condition. it bears bassett’s “crowned rose” touchmarks and his hallmarks in ‘“as struck” condition. this plate is a collector’s dream, in my opinion.
