Description
Item for sale is an antique c.1820 pewter tankard, or beer stein. Tankard has a rosette in the bottom and an angel touchmark on the inside of the lid and on the handle. Touchmark on the lid is dated 1820, which I understand to be the founding date of the foundry that made the mug. Also of note on the inner lid is the addition of a lamb with a flag, which is a symbol for the lamb of God, indicating the maker was a Christian. Nice detail on the sides and top. Finial is bent slightly. Item has other signs of use and age. Please see pictures carefully for complete details.Though I haven't been able to find definitive ID on the touchmark, I did find mention on the Dutch Tin Association website where their expert noted the following, " The brand is possible from the company Weigang from Öringen (southern Germany), which worked around that period." I haven't been able to find any further mention of this pewterer.
Measures about 8" tall with a base diameter of ~ 4-3/4". No capacity mark visible.
Weight: 2 lb. 2 oz.
