FAQs

Georgian silver tankards typically exhibit a tapered cylindrical body, often constructed with a central moulded girdle band, a stepped skirt base, and a domed cover with a scroll thumbpiece. Produced during the eighteenth century, these vessels reflected the balanced proportions and classicising influences of the era.

These vessels were hand-raised from sheet sterling silver, containing 92.5 percent pure silver alloyed with copper for structural durability. Handles, thumbpieces, and base mouldings were cast separately in sand moulds and silver-soldered to the main raised body.

Authentic eighteenth-century British silver carries a series of official hallmarks stamped by an assay office, including the leopards head for London, the lion passant for sterling purity, a date letter, and a registered makers mark. The physical weight, hand-worked internal surface texture, and joinery lines also help verify authenticity.

An antique silver tankard works effectively as a decorative object when displayed on a dark timber sideboard, a open bookshelf, or a glass bar cart. Its polished metallic surface provides a reflective accent against textured wall coverings, stone tops, or dark wood backgrounds.

Clean sterling silver using a specialised, non-abrasive silver polish applied with a soft cotton cloth or sponge. Avoid chemical dip cleansers and humid storage conditions, and buff gently to maintain the naturally developed surface patina.
