2 PEWTER HALLMARKED MUGS- ‘Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese 1667" & A IRON CUP

John Warne Pewter Mug Measure Vessel This is a pewter mug / tavern measure. It is 5 1/8 “ tall with a 3/4” footrim . It has "Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese 1667" inscribed on the front. On the bottom is inscribed "Wine Office Ct Fleet St" in script. It weighs about 1 lb. 5 oz. The base is 3 1/2" in diameter. It is 4 3/4" outside measure of mug to end of handle. There is a mark "pint" impressed within a rectangle to the left of the top of the handle, and a ¼” x 3/16 “ oval verification mark to the left of "pint." My research reveals that the maker’s mark on the inside bottom is of John Warne of Blackfriars Road, London, from the second half of the 19 th century. In the base is his mark of two hands clasped within an inner circle and his name in the outer circle. I took a pencil rubbing of the inside mark to study it more closely. Photo 4. The face inscription relates to the very famous pub, the Olde Cheshire Cheese, on Wine Office Court off Fleet Street, which was rebuilt in 1667 after the Great Fire. The Olde Cheshire Cheese is still there, and still a pub.
