Evoking the craftsmanship and utilitarian elegance of Georgian tavern culture, this late 18th-century copper tankard baluster form is a fine example of period domestic ware. Hand-forged from heavy gauge warm-hued copper with a subtly flared rim and rounded base, it features a robust side handle and retains its original one-pint capacity—a standard measure in both public houses and apothecaries of the era.
The tankard’s patina speaks to centuries of use, with soft surface wear and tonal variation with a feint hint of worn silver-plating, that enhance its authenticity. Whether displayed in a kitchen, study, or collector’s cabinet, it offers both aesthetic charm and historical integrity.
Provenance: English origin
Condition: Excellent antique condition with age-consistent wear
Size: Height 13 cm (5 1/8")
A tactile link to Britain’s social and domestic past—ideal for collectors of Georgian metalware, historical reenactors, or those seeking a characterful accent piece.
