The mate to this brazier is at the Art Institute of Chicago and is illustrated in David A. Hanks, "American Silver at the Art Institute of Chicago," fig. 5, p. 420. It is identically engraved underneath with the monogram of Jonathan and Miriam Mason and the presentation inscription to John C. Phillips in 1915. It descended in the Phillips family until it was acquired by the museum in 1952.
