Pewter mug with Australian Coat of Arms. Mary Anne Bates.. Metalware. Pewter. Pewter mug with glass bottom. Etched design. 100 mm. 1850s
Very Good. (N/A). This has 1/2 Pint Imperial near the upper handle. The name Mary Ann is distinct. Initally I stated, "I am not sure what the last name is, it sure looks like BATE, but the next letter or letters are not distinct". Upon really close inspection, I am now reasonably confident that this is from mary Ann Bahn, who was based in Richmond, Victoria. Regardless, what a magnificent piece. 20 x 15 mm flaked area to front upper left below the rim. Otherwise just some scratches and minor knocks here or there. The upper part looks a little out of shape when you look down on it from the top. Looks to be very early too, initial guess was 1850s, but probably a bit later in the 1800s if it is Mary Ann Bahn? Great piece all round. Estimate: $100-150
