A rare 18th century pewter OEAS quart flat-lidded communion flagon (laver), Scottish, circa 1740
The truncated cone body with two equally spaced slender fillets, the flat-lid with locating flange, wide single-curve handle with lower cylindrical strut attachment, erect twin-lobed thumbpiece, two pairs of ownership initials to drum, apparently unmarked, height 20.6cm
Literature: For a comparable laver see Peter Spencer Davis, 'Scottish Pewter 1600-1850' (2014), p.159, fig. 6.41. Although this illustrated example, by James Kinnieburgh, Glasgow, (fl.1789-1828) is later in date, the author notes the form is fifty years earlier (Kinnieburgh was using very old moulds) and the majority of lavers are actually unmarked
