A nice example of a silver beaker in the Federal style. Lancaster silver pieces are extremely rare and not frequently encountered. This beaker is marked on the bottom "WH" for William Haverstick, who was born in 1758 in Conestoga, Lancaster. He then moved to Philadelphia where he worked as a silversmith and jeweler from 1780 to 1795. In 1779, he married Maria Deschler, a member of one of the more prominent Philadelphia families. He then returned to Lancaster in 1795 where he continued to work as a silversmith and jeweler.
Item Dimensions: 3 - 1/2" x 2 - 3/4" x 2 - 3/4".
