Can with cover c. 18th century

This 18th-century pewter can with a cover and a ring handle is a fine example of functional yet decorative craftsmanship. The octagonal shape and the simple yet elegant design of the lid and handle make it an appealing object even today. The can, most likely used for storage, is a testament to the skill of the anonymous artisan and provides a glimpse into everyday life in the 18th century.
