Ownership Marks
Owners often applied their own marks to pewter, particularly on sadware. The most common is a simple triad of initials stamped on the rim, the centre initial being the surname and the other two the forenames of the husband and wife. However, some owners had crests or shields engraved on their pewter.
Pub pots of the 19th and 20th century often have the pub name and address inscribed on the underside.
