1879. (souvenir dresser or pin jar) Chatham Life Saving Station, Cape Cod c.1900. Most unusual and attractive covered dish or jar features the Chatham Life Saving station southwest of Chatham Lighthouse on a bold 5” diameter jar. This early piece is quite striking and is enhanced by a decorative edge with bright gilt border. Marked “Made in Germany for H.W. Hamilton & Co.. Chatham, Mass.” Nicely detailed is the Expanded Red House-Type station built in 1872 and expanded in 1888. Jar is clean, bright, with virtually no wear – pristine condition and is a striking example of this type of souvenir china. An unusually bright, bold piece for display and an exceptionally rare form.
