This is an authentic, 18th-century European pewter plate, measuring approximately 9.5 inches in diameter. Featuring a classic, understated rim design consistent with 18th-century Central European metalwork, the plate possesses a rich, untouched original patina that speaks to its longevity and history. Hand-engraved into the rim is a Hebrew inscription (appearing to include Ayin, Reish, Hey, Yud, Nun, Bet), which marks this as a compelling piece of historical Judaica, likely utilized within a religious or household setting.

Note for the collector: While maker’s marks are present on the reverse, they are obscured due to centuries of natural wear, a common characteristic in authentic 18th-century pewter. I have intentionally left the patina completely untouched to preserve the piece's integrity and historical character.

Age: 18th Century

Material: Pewter (Tin alloy)

Condition: Excellent antique condition. Consistent with an 18th-century origin, there is expected surface wear, light scratches, and a deep, natural oxidation that only time can create.

Reference: For historical context and identification of European pewter styles, please refer to Pewter of the Western World, 1600-1850 by R.G. Hornsby, p. 1-381.
