Description

This is a pewter quart mug made by George Bowman Acton [1] at Kingston upon Thames in about 1860s. Edward Hopwood (E H) was the first owner of Abercorn Arms Teddington (Opened in 1868) & probably acquired this mug in the late 1860s. According to census, his family all live above the pub in 1871 & registered as Wine & Beer Merchant. Youngs & Co bought the pub in 1887. The mug bears the Pre-1879 Middlesex mark with 2 F [2] ( 2 - Clerkenwell division, F for inspector David Faulkner) & "Abercorn Arms Teddington" engraved at the base. It also has another GR 31 mark for George V (31 - Middlesex after 1879). It is safe to say that the mug could have a very long service life. Very Good Condition, some sign of use & light dents but in remarkable status for a mug used in a pub for over 40 years. Grey patina on the body. 19th century Abercorn Arms Teddington Pewter Tavern Quart Mug by George Bowman Acton / Broken C handle , Fishtail c1860s / Acton Kingston , PS15543 Country of Production: UK, in Kingston upon Thames Maker: George Bowman Acton Period: Late 19th century, c1860s Design: Tulip shape body with broken C shape handle & fishtail terminal Colour: Grey patina Pot touch marks: Acton Kingston at the bottom Verification marks: Pre-1879 Middlesex mark with 2 F ( 2 - Clerkenwell division, F for inspector David Faulkner) , GR 31 ( George V , 31 - Middlesex ) , E/16 Capacity: Quart Pub mark: under the base "Abercorn Arms Teddington" Owners mark: E H for Edward Hopwood Size: 17cm x 11cm x 15.6 cm (Height) Weight: 878 g Condition: Very Good Condition, some sign of use & light dents but in remarkable status for a mug used in a pub for over 40 years.
