For your consideration is an original Falstaff Tin lithographed charger. Original chargers were used in kitchens and dining rooms as meat platters that, because they were bowed in the middle, could also hold gravy without spilling, which helped to keep the main dish hot until it was consumed. This pre-prohibition charger depicts a lithographed maiden pouring Sir John Falstaff, a drink. Falstaff is also accompanied by three other patrons and a child in the tavern. A fire can be seen roaring in the background with a banner across the mantel reading “Choicest Product of the Brewers Art”. This charger shows a wonderful patina and two small holes. The piece measures 24” in diameter.
