About the Item
Equestrian-themed silver tankard with German imperial association, ca 1875. Straight and paneled sides with low-relief frieze depicting galloping riders, racing through the countryside, trees and buildings in the background; branch borders. Split-mounted s-scroll handle with thumb rest. At bottom applied branch and leaf border and open supports. Cover hinged and bellied with imbricated leaf rim; on top is cast finial in form of mounted jockey and engraved phrase citing Kaiser Wilhelm I in an allusion to an officer’s race in Meresburg, a town in south-western Germany: “Kaiser Wilhelm dem Sieger in dem Offizier-Rennen zu Meresburg am 2 Juni 1878”. The date inspires speculation because on June 2, 1878, Wilhelm was in Berlin, getting shot at for the second time in a month. On this occasion, Wilhelm was seriously wounded. A medal was issued commemorating the failed assassination attempt. A similar sentiment possibly inspired the tankard’s inscription. Kaiser Wilhelm was the first to rule over a united Germany, which was achieved through foreign minister Bismarck’s policies. Wilhelm belonged to a long line of military expansionists. He was born in 1797, 11 years after the death of his great-great uncle Frederick the Great. His grandson was Wilhelm II, whose belligerence contributed to the outbreak of World War I. The tankard appears to be unmarked. Probably Austrian. Weight: 63.4 troy ounces.
