Description: Pewter flagon, one of a pair, made by Heyne and presented to the Warwick Congregation (now the Brickerville United Lutheran Church) for use as part of a communion service. Cylindrical tankard form of top half joins a bottom section that begins to swell until it flares out dramatically at bottom. Has three applied cherub's head feet bordered with wrigglework. Applied spout. Heyne then innovated by departing from German forms by using three English features: an applied hollow handle, a double-domed lid and an erect chairback thumbpiece.; At midline below three raised bands is an engraved two-lobed crown above large initials "MH" filled with wrigglework. Underside is stamped with Heyne's mark, a crown over the initials "ICH", and "LANCASTER" below. Undated, although the other flagon of this pair is marked "1776" on bottom.; Johann Christoph Heyne was working on West King Street in Lancaster Borough, 1752-1781.

Provenance: Possibly commissioned from Heyne by William and Mary Huber of this congregation and presented to the church with their initials.
