The American Pewterer: His Techniques & His Products

Author: Henry J. Kauffman
Pages: 132
Cover: Softbound
Dimensions: 7" x 10"
Item #: BK121
Price: $24.95
A complement to his other works "Early American Copper, Tin & Brass", "The Colonial Silversmith" and "Metalworking Trades in Early America", this Kauffman classic focuses on the history, methods, materials and artifacts of those who worked with the classic colonial material, pewter. Illustrated with black & white photographs of all manner of classic American pewter, this book provides a thorough introduction to this all but forgotten craft. Beginning with an historical overview of the metal and its properties, the book then reviews the layout of a colonial pewterer's shop and proceeds to a topical analysis of the types of products that were produced. Additional chapters address the pewterer in England, factory production of pewter and much more. A thorough bibliography and index make this a most useful addition to the library.
