DescriptionCast pewter cup with a flared rim, straight sides, a rounded bottom, and a round foot. The cup has a pair of incised lines about halfway down the body. There are chatter marks on the interior bottom of the cup. The rim is dented, and the cup is lightly scratched and tarnished.
Chatter Marks: Chatter marks are radial lines extending across the skimming marks on a pewter object. Chatter marks are caused by vibration of the skimming tool used in smoothing the rough surfaces of an object on a lathe.
