Baldwin Gardiner New York Classical Coin Silver Ewer

Classical coin silver ewer, ca 1835. Helmet mouth and ovoid bowl; raised and stepped foot. Leaf-capped and -wrapped high-looping reeded handle. Die-rolled leaf-and-flower and leaf-and-dart borders and rims; base flange same. Leafing-scroll cartouche flanked by flowers and leaves. Engraved presentation dated 1844. Marked B. Gardiner / New York. Baldwin Gardiner was a trained silversmith and retailer, who opened a furnishings warehouse in New York City in the late 1820s, in addition to taking on a silver manufactory a few years later. Not all silver stock was produced in house. Stylistically, this ewer is attributable to the Philadelphia firm Fletcher and Gardiner, which was co-founded by his brother Sidney Gardiner. The pieces commissioned from Fletcher and Gardiner bear the Baldwin Gardiner stamp. In his own words: I should expect to have my name stamped upon the bottoms. Very good condition. Dimensions: H 14 3/8 x W 10 1/4 x D 6 in. Weight: 46.7 troy ounces. #CD373
