A George III pewter mazarine or strainer, circa 1770
of oval form, the narrow rim engraved with the Methuen family coat of arms, touchmark to rear of John Carpenter, London (fl.1711-1747), (PS25), (46cm x 33.5cm approximately)
As John Carpenter died in 1741 the existence of pewter bearing his mark after that date suggests that his touchmark was also used by his widow, Elizabeth (fl.1747-1788), (PS1506), who continued the business after John's death.
