label: Description
content: Marks appear to be those Thomas Swanson of London, England, working 1753-1783. Swanson was trained by and partnered with pewterer Samuel Ellis, also of London, working 1721-1765. In 1765, Swanson was granted use of Ellis' touches (including "SE" mark). Both Swanson and Ellis were major exporters of pewter to the colonies.
