FAQs

A Georgian silver tankard is an 18th-century British drinking vessel constructed from sterling silver, commonly characterised by a baluster or cylindrical body, a sturdy handle, and detailed surface decoration.

These pieces were hand-hammered from sheets of sterling silver, with cast handles soldered onto the body before relief decoration, such as chasing or repousse, was applied manually.

Authentic items display official British hallmark stamps, including the makers mark, town mark, lion passant for sterling silver purity, and a date letter signifying the year of assay.

Position the vessel on a sideboard top, open bookshelf, or bar cart to introduce reflective metallic contrast alongside contemporary materials like timber and stone.

Clean surface dust using warm water and mild dish soap, then lightly polish with a dedicated silver cream using a non-abrasive cotton cloth to maintain the historic patina.
