Silver 1 Pint Beer Mug Tankard 1768 London by
 
Thomas Whipham & Charles Wright
 
The silver beer mug or tankard depicted is identified as a sterling silver pint mug, crafted in London in 1768 by the silversmiths Thomas Whipham and Charles Wright. This piece is hallmarked for London in 1768, placing its creation within the reign of King George III. Its typical design includes a classic baluster form, a stepped collet foot, and a double scroll handle, often featuring a thumb rest. Examples of such pieces found in the market are generally observed to be in good condition, exhibiting minimal surface wear and no significant damage. While described as a 1-pint mug, some antique examples from this period by these makers may have a capacity slightly less than a modern imperial pint.
