Tankard
Daniel Christian Fueter American
The silversmith Daniel Christian Fueter was trained in his native Switzerland before moving in 1752 to London and in 1753 to New York. His relatively brief residence in the colonies, between 1754 and 1769, circumscribes the dating of his American oeuvre. In 1769 he returned to Europe, where he died. This tankard, a classic mid-eighteenth-century New York example, is struck underneath with Fueter's maker's mark--DCF in an oval--and is engraved with scratch weight in troy ounces and pennyweights, a standard measure for precious metals.
