This is a good Antique Georgian Silver Small Tankard/Mug. It is of a baluster shape and has a leaf capped question mark shaped handle. It has a lined spreading circular base and is made from a good guage of silver with clear hallmarks except for the makers marks which the bottom half of both the letters are a bit rubbed. It does have an engraving on the handle which reads “W.H over H.L 1762″
Assay Office: LONDON
Date: 1757/58
Makers Marks: JM (Possibly James Morrison)
Dimensions: The top diameter is 2.5 inches, the base diameter is 2.75 inches and it is 3.5 inches tall. It weighs 170g and it holds 200ml, (7fl oz)
Condition: It does have some very shallow dents around the bulbous base, which I have to say can be felt more than seen
Remarks: This is a good sturdy antique Georgian solid silver small tankard/mug and a must for any collector of good Georgian silver
Note to overseas Purchasers: Due to the value of this item, I am having to offer this item to UK buyers only
Antique and vintage silver by its very nature has been previously used. Silver is a comparatively soft metal and a combination of many years use invariably leaves its mark. I do endeavour to describe all items accurately but do not expect any antique to be in “as new condition”.
Non EU buyers are reminded they are liable for any local customs duties or tax.
