About the Item

This exceptional antique George III sterling silver quart tankard has a plain baluster form onto a spreading circular foot. The plain body of this Georgian tankard is embellished with an impressive bright cut engraved oval cartouche encompassed with a bead decorated border and bud festoon, tied to the upper portion with a large scrolling ribbon motif. The cartouche displays the contemporary bright cut engraved crest of a stag's head couped holding in the mouth a branched acorn. This magnificent Georgian tankard retains the original hinged hallmarked domed cover surmounted with a fine and impressive lobed thumbpiece and encompassed with applied bead ornamentation to the rim. The hinge is decorated with pendant drop style ornamentation to the upper portion of the handle.
