FAQs

A tyg is a large drinking vessel featuring multiple handles, traditionally three or four, designed to be passed between drinkers during social gatherings.

Historically, tygs were crafted from lead-glazed earthenware pottery during the 16th century, later evolving into sterling silver and silver-plated iterations produced by silversmiths.

Authentic silver pieces bear struck hallmarks that indicate the purity of the metal, the makers mark, the assay office location, and the date letter.

Miniature silver tygs function well when displayed inside glass curio cabinets, arranged alongside books on a shelf, or placed on a tray upon a console table.

Silver should be wiped with a soft cotton cloth and cleaned using specialised silver polish to remove oxidisation, avoiding abrasive materials that scratch the surface.
