***Additional info about the company ***
Crown & Rose Pewter, Englefields Ltd., London, England. Brown & Englefield founded in 1885. This mark used from 1948. Englefields was bought by Royal Selangor in 1987 Parliament in 1503 required all London-made pewter to be stamped with the maker's symbol or touch-mark. Only those items made in London could be struck with the Crown and Rose symbol. The popularity of pewter gradually declined as the English discovered tea and preferred drinking it in china or earthenware, and light ale tasted better in glasses than tankards. In London, only Englefields survived, and it therefore has exclusive use of the Crown and Rose touch-mark. The Crown and Rose touch-mark is applied by hand. Specialists in hand turning then provide the texture and decorative finish and remove all seams. If needed, handles, hinges or other embellishments are then soldered to the bodies before the pieces are given a final polishing. Pewter that is cast is heavier and more durable than pewter that is spun - a process in which the metal is spun into shape from flat sheets. If you gently tap cast pewter, it has a ringing sound.
