i Information Point.
Mary Chawner was the daughter of William Burwash, watch case
maker, and wife to William Chawner, spoonmaker, and was based in London. In
1834 Mary became the sole proprietor following the death of her husband, and
registered the MC mark that is found on all of her items. Mary continued with
the business before passing it on to her son-in-law George Adams in November
1840, marking an end to the MC mark. Mary was belatedly recognised as a woman of
influence and has several hallmarked pieces in the collection of the National
Museum of Women in the Arts, based in Washington.
