Cream Pot

1735-1745

John Strangeways Hutton (American, 1684–1792)

John Hutton was first recorded in 1735 as a journeyman working in the shop of the silversmith Joseph Richardson, Sr. Although he lived for more than a century, he seems to have retired from silversmithing in 1747 at age sixty-three. This cream pot may have been made for Richardson by Hutton as a part of his training.
