Fine Antique American Pewter Deep Dish Charger, Joseph Danforth, Middletown, CT, c. 1780 to 1788. This large deep dish charger is an early example manufactured by one of the finest American pewter families. This charger has a single reeded rim with a deep dish. There are two worn impressed maker's marks on the back of the plate with a rampant lion in gateway. The marks are worn so you can't read the full, "JOSEPH" above.
