Newlyn/Mousehole copper tray

£275.00 inc. VAT

Herbert Dyer - or Bert - served in the 1st world war as a boy soldier/ engineer, where he acquired an interest in metal working, and after the war, he could find no work in his native Cumbria so he walked to Cornwall in 1922, and set himself up in a studio/forge. He was not part of Mackenzie's Newlyn copper school, but his work was in paralell as his decorative work was very similar.
This tray is a handsome piece and is stamped H. Dyer on the top surface of the tray, between the hammered area and the upstand.
