PEWTER FROM
THE MOVIES!
Until 2001, Ken Paul Ltd. was Londons leading film prop supplier.
Kens shop was well known as a treasure trove of fine and eclectic
antiques, including the occupied coffin clock used in The Rocky Horror
Movie, as well as a source for the less extraordinary. For nearly five
decades it supplied props for virtually every English movie of note
from Lawrence of Arabia to Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone as
well as television shows including Masterpiece Theater and more
recently, Absolutely Fabulous. Items #1021-30 were used in the Sherlock
Holmes television series as well as a number of English movies during
the 50s-90s. As with any business, getting on with the product took
precedence, and film credits were maintained for only a few of the
thousands of items in his stock. None the less, a keen eye for spotting
the items in English films of the period has produced many matches and
given great pleasure and amusement to their owners. Slightly tapered
form with medial bead, thickened edge and banded base. Scroll form
handle with thumb rest. Edge marked QUART with VR 39 and VR 29 (?)
marks, engraved undecipherable pub name, and scratched in W MALLETT.
Underside with Paul marks as above. Sound with fine patina and some
dents from toasting.
