Japanned Syrup Tin, Circa 1840
$35.00
This lovely little piece is a mid 1800's, American made piece of tin tole-ware. These pieces were common on the tables of everyday Americans, primarily in the east, in the mid 1800's. Tole painted and japanned they added a level of decoration to the tables of farmers and merchants across this country. This is a small example of this type of tableware, standing approx 4 1/4 inches tall. The base is approx 3 inches in diameter and the top 2 3/8 inches in diameter, not including the area of the spout. It has evidence of paint wear, and the original tole design is hard to see but traces of it remain. Considering the age, none of what is described is outside of what would be expected. The pitcher has a hinged lid, which still swings freely and fits flush within the body when closed. The inside tin remains very shinny. There are no dents or dings, though there is one small blob of what appears to be solder on the bottom. Please refer to pictures for full perspective.
This is a darling piece of Americana and would be a great addition to any farm house decor or colonial decor. It is a tin piece and I do not recommend any attempt to try to use it as a syrup pitcher today.
