Greetings- I've had this silver ewer for some years. I have some idea about when and where it was made, but am hoping other Forum members might be able to suggest a maker attribution. This octagonal ewer is 12-1/2" tall and weighs over 800 grams (about 26oz t.). I note that the Met museum has a couple of Rococo-revival octagonal pitchers by Thanks for your ideas.

William F. Ladd retailed the Met pieces. He was a jeweler and watchmaker, not a silversmith, and by 1851, had gone west to San Francisco. I would suspect Edgar M. Eoff as the maker, probably just before his partnership with George Shepard in 1853. They became major suppliers to Ball, Black & Co. IP: Logged |

Thanks wev! Now that you've identified the Ladd of NY as the same Ladd of SF I'm embarrassed to even have suggested him  Eoff is a much more likely suspect. IP: Logged |
