專家說明
The engraved monogram W / I C refers to Colonel Joshua Weeks (1674-1758) and his wife Comfort Hubbard (b. Salisbury MA, 1681-1756), whom he married in Boston in 1699. The couple lived in Greenland, New Hampshire, and Weeks served as Justice of the Peace.
In the early twentieth century the pepper box was part of the collection of American decorative arts amassed by Dwight M Prouty (b. 1874). Much of this collection was lent to institutions such as the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
