Description

We have for sale a truly lovely heavy arts and crafts Dresser inspired copper and brass tankard.

The tankard consists of a planished truncated conical body extending to a very Christopher Dresser style angled handle with a tactile shaped brass thumb rest to the top and a brass terminal to the base. The base of the tankard is also formed from brass, a feature that was obviously designed to make that base hard wearing. Judging by the Dresser inspired design the tankard probably dates to around 1900. This is a very well engineered tankard, but caries no makers mark.

The tankard is 5.25 inches high, has a diameter to the base of 3.5 inches and a width to the base of about 5.5 inches including the handle. The tankard is in a very good antique condition although it has a few scratches to upper rim near the handle. These marks are visible in the first image.
