This oversized "peg" tankard was obviously made as a special order, these types were common in the 16th and 17th centuries. They were made so a large tankard could be shared around the table, each person drinking down to the next "peg". This tankard is in excellent condition with no repairs. The hallmarks are crisp and legible.
