About the Item

Vintage silver plated tankard 1 pint by Elkington & Co, England, 1962. Elkington & Co are one of the most important names in English Silver and Silver Plate. Elkington started in Birmingham in 1836, and experimented with innovative gilding techniques. By 1838 they had discovered and patented a new way to electroplate one metal on to the surface of another. By 1840 production was already underway with silver electroplated wares. The company received financial backing from Josiah Mason in 1842 (renaming the firm Elkington, Mason & Co between 1842 and 1861) and was extremely successful. It introduced electrotyping as a new method of production for silver plated items. Elkington & Co exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851 with enormous success. Elkington held Royal Warrants for Queen Victoria, King Edward VI, King George V, King Edward VIII and King George VI. The Elkington & Co. name is still in use today as manufacturers under the auspices of British Silverware Ltd. Trust Houses, the client for whom this mug was made, was part of a group that operated a chain of hotels and inns in the UK, with a focus on offering consistent quality and hospitality standards. This collaboration suggests that the mug was likely produced for use in one of these establishments, possibly as part of a larger set for dining or bar service. The year 1962 places it in a post-WWII period, during which Elkington & Co. was known to produce items both for commercial and private use. Silver-plated items from Elkington with clear markings, especially those produced for companies like Trust Houses, are quite collectible. The antique beer mug has the original manufacturer's label. Very good vintage condition. Dimensions: Width: 13 cm / 5.12 inches Height: 11 cm / 4.33 inches Depth: 9 cm / 3.54 inches We offer a secure worldwide shipping.
