Eoff&Shepard for Ball, Black Coin Silver Pitcher from 1850s with Natural Motifs

About the Item

Eoff & Shepard for Ball, Black & Co, coin silver pitcher, made between 1852 and 1861, beautifully adorned with raised natural motifs on the spout and handle. It measures 11 1/2'' in height by 9'' from handle to spout by 7 1/2'' in depth, weighs 31.3 troy ounces, and bears hallmarks and a monogram as shown. Edgar Mortimer Eoff and George L. Shepard formed a partnership in silversmithing in 1852. Active until 1861, they produced sterling silver hollowware and were retailed by major retailers, such as Ball, Black & Co. Their work is present in several museums, such as the Brooklyn Museum, and the Yale University Art Gallery. Successors to Marquand & Co, Ball, Tompkins & Black retailed silver in New York from the early 19th century onward. While their original store was at Broadway 247, they relocated in the 1860s to be across the street from their rival Tiffany. Tompkins left the company in 1851 and it continued to operate under the name of Ball & Black until 1876 when it participated in the creation of Black, Starr & Frost. Their work is present in several prestigious museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Please feel free to ask us any questions, and please see our other listings.
