Description:
Silver strainer with a circular, dished, straining section pierced with holes in a compass-type pattern, and two curvilinear open handles with some feathering decoration, which is marked "D : P" in a rounded rectangle on the back of both handles for Daniel Parker (1726-1785), and engraved "R / DE" in block letters on the top end of one handle. Born in Charleston, Massachusetts, Daniel Parker moved to Boston about 1740 where he probably trained with Samuel Edwards (1705-1762) before staring his own successful workshop, advertising frequently in Boston newspapers between 1752-1767. There are currently only about 70 pieces of silver by Parker known. Daniel Parker was the paternal uncle of Issac Parker (1749-1805), silversmith of Deerfield and Boston.
