Description
This pewter bowl was hand made in the 1930s by an unidentified metal smith producing items for sale through the Penland Weavers and Potters, Penland, N.C. This bowl features a hammered rim and is marked "RRW." Penland pewterwork was suspended from 1941 to 1949 because the tin in it was needed for World War II efforts. Penland Weavers and Potters was a craft production center that operated out of the Penland School of Handicrafts (now the Penland School of Crafts) in Mitchell County, N.C. from the early 1920s to the late 1960s.
