This George V sterling silver mug or tankard originates from the 1930s, bearing hallmarks for Sheffield 1934 and the maker's mark for Atkin Brothers. The piece is formed from smooth silver with a polished finish and a silver colour, complemented by a lightly gilded interior. Specific design elements include a tapered bowl, a scalloped pedestal foot, and an angular loop handle with a scrolled offset design. Visible construction details include frilled edge mouldings on the pedestal base and a distinct join where the handle meets the tapered body. Measuring 9 cm high, 10.5 cm wide, and 7 cm deep, this item functions traditionally as a christening gift or a decorative object. Placed on a sideboard top, it fits well within a gentleman's library or a traditional display setting in a home today. The structure remains intact with no visible structural repairs or damage, presenting a clean, reflective surface throughout the exterior bowl and handle.

FAQs

Silverware produced during the reign of King George V (19101936) often blends traditional Georgian forms with clean, restrained modern lines. Pieces frequently feature smooth geometric shapes, stepped bases, and minimalist handles reflective of early Art Deco influences.

British sterling silver from this era was assayed to guarantee a purity of 925 parts per thousand silver. Silversmiths formed vessels using raising techniques or casting, with handles and pedestal feet soldered to the body before hand-polishing and striking official hallmark stamps.

Authentic pieces carry a set of official British hallmarks stamped into the silver. These typically include the crown mark for the Sheffield assay office, the lion passant for sterling silver, a specific date letter representing 1934, and the makers initials.

Antique silver mugs make functional decorative accents when placed on sideboard tops, open shelving, or home bars. They can serve as catch-alls, pencil holders on desks, or small floral vases to introduce reflective metallic tones into a space.

Clean silver gently using a soft cloth and a specialized silver polish, avoiding abrasive cleaners that can wear down surface details. Regular dusting and occasional light polishing prevent excessive tarnish caused by environmental oxidisation.
