Antiques & provenance, starting with one plate

If you look at antiques for what they still remember, you are in the right place. This page is not a shop and not a catalog. It begins with one Real Relic.

Mid-18th-century pewter plate from Vevey, standing-lion ANDRE UTIN touchmark
André Utin pewter plate · Vevey, mid-18th century · standing-lion touchmark

The plate is Swiss provincial pewter, made in Vevey on Lake Geneva. Pierre-André Utin (1688–1771) left a standing-lion mark (ANDRE UTIN) that still names the workshop.

The Relic is Real. The mark is historical. The later island Weave around a ship’s hatch is told separately, and is not required to look at the plate.

Here relics are kept with their weaves bound to them.

If you keep a shop or a small collection and want a Relic’s Weave written down, that is later work in Haven. This page does not list inventory and does not sell.

We do not appraise, authenticate for sale, or buy and sell antiques. Provenance here means the Relic and Weave we can actually stand behind.
