FAQs

A silver-mounted glass tankard is a traditional drinking vessel or serving jug combining a clear glass body with decorative silver or silver-plated collars, lids, and mounts. Popularised in the nineteenth century, these vessels were frequently used for serving ale, claret, or water at formal table settings.

These items were constructed using blown or cut glass paired with sterling silver or electroplated nickel silver fittings. Handles were often wrapped in woven cane or wicker to provide thermal insulation and protect the users hand from cold liquid or condensation.

Authentic pieces generally display official silver hallmarks or makers marks struck into the metal collar, lid, or mount. Additional indicators include hand-chased or pierced decoration, natural wear patterns to the glass base, and aged patination or slight oxidisation near joining points.

Position the piece on a dining room sideboard top, a brass bar cart, or inside a glass-fronted cabinet alongside historic glassware. Combining metalwork and glass textures adds visual interest to dark wood or minimalist backdrops.

Hand wash the interior using warm water and mild detergent, taking care not to submerge any woven cane handles in water. Clean the silver metalwork with a soft silver polishing cloth rather than abrasive liquid cleaners, and avoid using modern dishwashers.
