An Extremely Rare 18th Century Newcastle Silver Pint Tankard

An extremely rare Newcastle silver tankard dating from the 18th Century. This superb piece is of baluster shape, with a raised foot. The capacity is a pint and the gauge of the silver is good. There are feint 'pricked' initials to the handle outer and an elongated 'kick' to the bottom of the handle. There is a later monogram to the front and fine hallmarks including the rare and sought after incuse duty mark, struck only in 1784/5.

Silver from this period and assayed in Newcastle is extremely difficult to find, as mostly flatware prevails. A wonderful collector's piece. Dimensions below.
