Technical Description
An exceptionally rare Coronation Tankard dating to 1937.
It is a limited edition, number 97 of 150 made for Thomas Goody & Co Ltd in 1937 to celebrate the coronation of George VI.
The engraving is extensive with the Kings initials, crown and date within an oak leaf cartouche on one side of the bowl and a complete recording of the Stuart dynasty, from Robert The Bruce in 1306, through to Goerge IV, surrounding a spiders web, on the other side of the bowl.
The applied handle has been engraved with Scottish Thistles, English Roses, Welsh Leeks and Irish shamrocks.
Within the base we have a specially minted silver coin surrounded by oak leaves. Around the foot rim we have the engraving confirming the limited-edition statement and also the Thomas Goody copyright.
A spectacular tankard where only 150 were made...and we suspect very few are still in existence and certainly this is the first example we have seen.
Tankard holds a full pint.
