Edgar & Son was a Bristol pewter maker working in Bristol between 1810 and 1850. Chargers, dishes, plates and saucers were collectively known by pewterers as ‘sadware’. Huge quantities of 'sadware' were made across Britain between 1650 - 1780, to replace the wooden trenchers used earlier. Subsequently the pewter died out in the 19th century to be replaced with pottery.Cataloged By
