Peg tankards originated in Scandinavia and Britain during the 17th century, featuring internal vertical pegs spaced at equal intervals to measure portions during drinking games.

These drinking vessels were traditionally crafted from solid silver or silver plate over base metals, utilising techniques such as repousse embossing, chased engraving, and cast handle or foot attachments.

Authenticity is determined by examining makers marks, hallmarks or electroplate stamps, the weight and gauge of the metal, and the quality of hand-chased detailing rather than modern machine stamping.

It can be displayed as a decorative accent on a bookshelf, sideboard, or mantelpiece, contrasting its reflective metallic surface with natural textures like timber or stone.

Silver plate should be cleaned sparingly using a non-abrasive specialized silver polish and a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip the plating.
