This Georgian sterling silver tankard from Newcastle stands 18.5 cm high, 10.5 cm wide, and 10.5 cm deep. The silver vessel presents a baluster form finished in a polished silver colour, featuring an S-scroll handle, a hinged domed lid with a scroll thumbpiece, and a stepped circular foot. The body and cover display intricate floral repousse chasing, decorative cartouches, and repousse leaf banding above the base. In a modern home, this piece functions well as a decorative display item on a sideboard top or within a gentleman's library setting. The silversmiths John Langlands I and John Goodrick produced the tankard in Newcastle in 1755 during their brief partnership following Goodrick's death. The design incorporates functional hardware including a secure lid hinge and an ergonomic handle shape, with historical engraved details recorded on the surface.

FAQs

Georgian silver tankards are lidded or open drinking vessels crafted in Great Britain during the reigns of King George I through King George IV between 1714 and 1830. They typically feature tapered or bell-shaped bodies, sturdy handles, and official hallmarks denoting silver purity, maker, and city of assay.

These vessels were hand-hammered from sterling silver, an alloy comprising 92.5 per cent pure silver mixed with copper for structural durability. Decorative elements were traditionally added using chasing and repousse raised techniques, accompanied by cast scroll handles and hinged covers.

Authentic pieces carry a complete set of British hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling standard, a makers mark, a town mark, and a date letter. Structural indicators include visible hand-hammering marks, period-appropriate solder lines, and natural wear along contact points.

An antique silver tankard can be displayed as an accent piece on a sideboard, arranged on a bookshelf alongside leather-bound volumes, or placed as a central accent on a mantelpiece.

Clean antique silver periodically using a mild, non-abrasive silver polish applied with a soft cotton cloth to remove oxidisation without stripping delicate chasing details. Store the item in a dry, low-humidity environment away from direct ambient heat.
