This Victorian sterling silver tankard presents a tapered cylindrical body with a polished silver finish, a moulded rim, and visible stamped hallmarks near the upper edge. The piece includes a cast scroll handle with a distinctive thumb rest at the top and a small kick at the base, displaying natural aging, light surface wear, and a warm patina on both the exterior and the interior. Measuring 10.5 cm in height and 8.5 cm in diameter, this substantial drinking vessel adapts well to a variety of styling options in a modern interior. It makes an excellent decorative or functional addition to a sideboard top or a gentleman's library display.

FAQs

Sterling silver tankards were traditionally crafted as drinking vessels for ale, beer, or wine, frequently gifted to mark significant personal milestones or military achievements during the 18th and 19th centuries.

These tankards were forged using sterling silver, an alloy composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper added for strength, occasionally featuring interior gilding to protect the metal from liquid corrosion.

Authentic silver pieces feature stamped official hallmarks, which include a purity mark such as the lion passant, a maker mark, a town mark indicating the assay office, and a letter representing the year of production.

An antique silver tankard can be displayed as a decorative piece on a bar cart, sideboard, or open bookshelf alongside glass decanters and leather-bound books.

Silver should be cleaned periodically using a soft cloth and a specialized silver polish formulated to remove tarnish without scratching, stored in a dry space to minimize oxidisation.
