Item Details

This is an antique tavern's pint tankard. An English, pewter drinking jug with glass base, and personal monogram, dating to the mid Victorian period, circa 1860.


Charming pint tankard with a personalised finish
Displaying a desirable aged patina, gently time-worn with use
Antique pewter presents a weathered appearance and metallic feel
Broad, rolled handle presents a well-balanced, tactile fit


Engraved to the fascia with the monogram G.C.S. in Victorian copperplate cursive script
Replete with a glass bottom, a maritime legend to avoid taking the King's Shilling
In the days of conscription by press gangs, recruiters would drop a coin into a drinker's jug
The rationale behind the glass bottom would highlight the ruse, and avoid the contract


This is delightful antique tavern's pint tankard, with pleasing tavern and maritime interest. Skilfully personalised with a fine monogram, this wonderful example has survived in appealing, original order. Delivered ready to enjoy or display.
