Need help with hallmarks on colonial pewter plate

[Bill D. (VA)]

I believe this plate dates to the late 1700s, but the hallmarks can probably provide a more specific date along with other interesting info. I was hoping someone that's familiar with these can provide some assistance. Thanks!

I found this which I think is a match. Looks like you were right on with the date

A Set of Four Export Pewter Plates by Fasson & Son

This set of four Export Pewter plates was made by John and Thomas Fasson, a father son partnership working in London from 1782-1798 and are examples of their lucrative export market.

All the plates are in fine condition with fine "as-struck" touchmarks. There are wonderful crowned owner's initials on the face of the rims. These initials are very similar to the set used by John Skinner in his shop to provide clients with their initials.

The plates measure 8" in diameter and all have beautifully hammered bouges. The face and back surfaces of the rims show beautifully turning marks and some lathe chatter.

True sets of 18th century plates are uncommon. These with owner's initials confirm the fact that they are a true set.

Looks like you hit the nail on the head. Thanks a bunch for helping out.

I wish I did Cru. But no, it was a recent purchase for my colonial display. I've always wanted a nice example and this one fit the bill.

OK, because examples like this rarely turn up other than in the Thames mud in London.
