ANTIQUE SILVER TANKARDS AND MUGS
Up to the end of the seventeenth century covered tankards and porringers are, I suppose, the two most commonly found pieces of silver. The increasing sophistication of the eighteenth century introduced an ever wider range of table silver together with ali the apparatus for the recently introduced tea, coffee and chocolate. However, the tankard did not lose its place until early in the nineteenth century.
Incidentally, tankards have covers, mugs do not. Most of the following apply to both. Tankards are prone to the usual ills that affect hollowware. Their plain surfaces were the ideal background for elaborate armorials,
and the older they are, the greater the likelihood that they have been erased. One should therefore examine the front of mugs and tankards most carefully inside and out, for thin spots or patches. Inside you may notice an alteration in the pattern of the hammer marks or a certain smoothness, or difference in wear or colour. Outside, the surface may be too shiny, or may show pin-pricks where erasing has not been completed properly. Most tankards are marked near the handle, but be careful of tankards and mugs which are marked underneath. The handle may have been moved round so that any weak spot is behind the handle where you might not think to look for it.
Earlier tankards often have splits round the lip, especially where the handle joins.
Up to the beginning of the eighteenth century, tankards had flat covers. Subsequently, some of these were hammered up into the domed shape popular between about 1710 and 1790, and some of these have had their covers hammered back again into their original shape. I need hardly say that this process is very detrimental to the value. Fortunately, it cannot be done without very obvious signs, as the marks on the cover will have been stretched out of shape by the raising, and made even worse by the flattening. The step of the cover may also be rather high (as the silver has to be hammered back to somewhere) the cover may be thin with hammer marks in concentric rings, and the marks will be flat, stretched and faint.
I can also state categorically that no eighteenth century tankard or mug is ever embossed, apart from the late seventeenth century types illustrated with acanthus or spiral fluting which carried on into the first few years of the eighteenth century.
As far as hall-marking is concerned, tankards are quite straight-forward. The body and cover must be fully and identically marked. Most seventeenth century examples are marked by the handle, and on the outside of
the cover in a straight line (an exception to the usual rule about marks conforming to the shape). Very occasionally, usually on rather fine tankards, the hall-mark is underneath, and must be a group mark. The cover will still be marked in a line. The cover mark may be inside, but it is unusual. Tankards up to 1730 are still usually marked on the body, but from when the domed cover comes into fashion, the cover is group-marked inside, or very occasionally outside. After 1730 the body mark is usually grouped underneath. About 80% of tankards made before 1730 have the maker’s mark struck on the handle, unless it is a cast one, usually found on mugs rather than tankards, especially from George I onwards.
All mugs and tankards, up to the reeded ones of the end of the eighteenth century have the bodies raised in one piece, with the footwire added. The bottoms should not be let-in, and there should be no seams up the
body.
Original armorials add at least 15% -to the value of mugs and tankards.
One sometimes sees extra large mugs, usually with hollow handles. They look like tankards without covers, and this is exactly what they are. It is an almost invariable rule that everything over a pint capacity originally
had a cover, and if it is missing, the value is reduced by about 75%. The only genuine type of early mug has a globular body and reeded neck.
On the whole, tankards are bought by collectors rather than for use and so, to be saleable, they need to be in the condition which appeals to collectors. Nothing is so undesirable as a second-rate mug or tankard.
This is as early a tankard as I propose to illustrate and you will not see one of this date very often outside a museum. It was made about 1640. The cover is flat, with a pointed overhang in front. The thumbpiece is cast, but they are sometimes of plain design made from sheet. The tankard is raised in one piece, with a slight curve at the bottom, and no strengthening wire.
An unusual and rather fine tankard made about 1670. It has an exceptionally hold handle with a beaded rat-tail, a heavy joint, and a drop in front of the thumbpiece. It is marked underneath, and inside the cover, and has original arms. The cover is almost of the later type, but not quite. Large size, heavy, and with original engraving.
The standard tankard 1680 - 1695. Double scroll thumbpiece, double step cover. The depressions on the handle behind the joint are from the thumbpiece. I like to see the thumbpiece still coming down in the right
place.
The standard type of early Charles II tankard  this example made in 1671, but they go from about 1660. Note the low single step cover, which is considered more desirable than the later type as shown on page 165.
A tankard with lion feet and thumbpiece, apparently 1676. I shall show other examples with the thumbpiece, but to have lion feet as well is very uncommon, as are the rope borders, and the decorative cut-out under the handle. The lions add considerably to the value, and their authenticity should always be considered. I should be very suspicious if the tankard was rather ordinary in every other respect  they are only found on extra good examples.
Typical form of late seventeenth century mug. Group marked under base. Examples with Chinoiserie decoration are found. Usually about half-pint size.
Another lion-thumbpiece tankard. As usual, of extra size, bold skirt, rib round body, original arms. Date 1692. About 3 pints.
The only other type of genuine embossing, date 1694. Generally, acanthus or fluted tankards are less valuable than equivalent plain ones, unless they have special features like the previous one. Look for holes in the decoration
A Queen Anne tankard date 1702. The cut-card work round the handle sockets adds 20% to the value.
A tankard and cover with Chinoiserie decoration. Very popular at the moment  up to three times the value of an equivalent plain one.
The type of tankard made from 1710 to 1740. Squatter than the later cylindrical types. Note the domed cover. They almost always have the moulded band round. Average size:
Queen Anne - George I - George II
Another made in 1697 showing the acanthus leaf embossing seen at the end of the seventeenth century. This, the following type, and Chinoiserie flat-chasing, are the only genuine types of embossing seen on tankards pre-1810. Sometimes the cover is similarly decorated as well, but here we have the lion. A small proof of authenticity  the marks are struck almost in the centre of the cover, well forward of normal, to clear the lion which is evidently original.
A rather unusual tankard made in 1721. The handle is cast, and the cover has a bold finial, and a rather elaborate thumbpiece. Original armorials. Because of its considerable extra quality and interesting design, it is worth considerably more than the standard type.
Type of mug developed about 1715 and continued until about 1740. The sides are almost straight, curving under at the base. The handles are cast. This example has exceptionally fine original arms.
Pint mug according to date.
Half-pint mug, according to date.
The ordinary baluster tankard and cover 1735 to 1760 Price Range.
From about 1735, mugs and tankards became more curvy and baluster-shaped, though they are broader and squatter than the later examples, as you will see.
The better type of baluster tankard of the same period. Broader, squatter, heavier, original arms.
Type of mug made between 1700 and 1730, in pint and half-pint sizes. The earlier ones may have the spiral fluted decoration of the one illustrated on page 169. These straight-sided mugs usually have a handle made
up from sheet, as this one.
The usual type 1755 - 1790. Note that the body is taller and the baluster shape less pronounced. The cover is higher. The thumbpiece is more elaborate, and the bottom of the handle often terminates in a fancy shield
with a scroll top.
The mug of the period. Taller body, cast handle, higher foot.
These reeded tankards started to be made about 1780, and continued until about 1820. They are usually of excellent quality. The ribbing is in one piece with the body, not added separately. They have never been as
popular as the earlier types.
The straight-sided tankard was made throughout the eighteenth century, although less common than the baluster type after 1740. As it is of somewhat less pleasing design, it is less valuable. Also, they are often rather lighter in weight. Some Provincial examples -of the 1770, onwards are very narrow in proportion, and thoroughly unpleasing. They are not popular.
Mugs follow the same shape. This is a rather unusual barrel-shaped example, which is sometimes seen in a full-size covered tankard. Sometimes these barrel-shaped mugs are engraved with hoops and staves,
sometimes they have moulded bands of equal width all over. Most barrel-shaped mugs are no more than half-pint size, or the even smaller child’s mugs.
The same period, but slightly unusual, without the girdle. Not necessarily more valuable, except because of the arms.
A very fine Regency tankard made in 1814, The decoration is embossed, but in order to make the tankard easy to clean inside, there is a sleeve soldered inside. Tankards of this quality are so uncommon that it is
difficult to give more than an approximate price. 50% - 100% more if Paul Story, especially if gilt.
A George IV child’s mug, often gilt. The snake handle and band of grapevines are quite usual  in fact, vine decoration was extremely popular at this period.
Victorian embossed child’s mug c. 1840.
Late Georgian early Victorian campana shaped child’s mug.
Victorian engraved child’s mug — slightly later date.
A good George IV tankard. The decoration on the body is embossed, and it, and the handle and finial, is very similar to that on teasets of the period. Actually, it is very uncommon to find a George IV tankard, as their
use seemed to have declined by then, but it does not make them very valuable, unfortunately!
An Elizabethan beaker of more English design about seven inches tall. The feet on most articles of this period were cast in sections, and not very well finished. The engraving is typical of the late sixteenth century to early seventeenth century. Normally marked underneath.
Two beakers of the type made 1660 - 1680. About three and a half to five inches high. The decoration is original. This type of pricked initial does not reduce the value.
Two similar Elizabethan beakers rather modelled on the German pattern with low feet. Normally marked underneath. All beakers are raised in one piece, the feet or base moulding being added for strength.
Another beaker, showing engraved decoration of the period. Although the technique is different the motifs are the same. As it is plainer, it might be a little more desirable and valuable.
Details of marks. Note that the silversmith has not bothered to clean off the surplus solder underneath.
Type of wine goblet made during the reigns of James and Charles 1, this one dated 1619. It could even be Elizabethan, but the bowl would probably be engraved. The baluster stem is a casting. The foot should be
marked with the lion passant, or it may be a replacement. Owing to their elegant design, they are extremely desirable and valuable.
As beakers are functional, simple articles, they continued more or less unchanged in shape for two hundred years from 1600. Only the decoration varies, but throughout the eighteenth century they were completely
plain. The earlier ones have a rather wider foot moulding.
Queen Anne George I - Early George - Late George George III.
Three tumbler cups. These were made from 1670 throughout the eighteenth century. They are hammered up from very thick plate, the sides gradually getting thinner. As most of the weight is concentrated in the base,
when laid on their side, they should tumble upright. Early ones are rather wider in proportion to their height. They are usually marked underneath, but later examples especially are sometimes marked on the side.
Unusual pair of beakers about 1790, with original arms. Pairs of goblets or beakers are worth three to four times the price of one.
So called “tot-cups” probably for a quick swig of eau-de-vie. Made 1710 to 1740, in sizes from one inch to three inches. The smaller ones are not very valuable, but the largest ones make very nice little sugar bowls
(being more in proportion to the little pitcher cream jugs than the proper ones) and are valued accordingly. However, some brandy warmers were made in this shape about 1765, so if it is rather later in period,
consider that this is one with the handle removed.
A coconut cup made about 1790. Coconuts, being strange and exotic, have been mounted in silver since Mediaeval times. The mounts often are not hall-marked. Their value at this period often depends on the interest of the carving. This one shows a naval battle in 1782.
Late 18th century, hall-marked, and as interesting as this.
This may be the place to introduce this object  it is a quaich, and they are Scottish. The earliest ones are of wood-staved construction, and are, I suppose, to the Scots what mazer bowls are to the English. They range
in diameter from two to six inches, and are sometimes engraved to represent staves and hoops. Examples made after 1700 are really rather “out of period” though this one was made in Inverness circa 1740. It is
impossible to place a value on the earlier ones; but they can easily run into thousands. Smaller eighteenth century examples are in the 400 - 1,000 range, depending on date and provenance, the rarer provincial
examples being particularly sought after.
A pair of double-barrel cups. London made ones are usually fully hallmarked on each half, on the ends or sides, and are mostly made 1770 -1800. Sometimes a half-beaker is found by itself.
A pair of vase-shaped beaded goblets about 1780. Original initials and crests.
As the monograms are prettily engraved and combined with crests, they may detract hardly at all from the value.
Perfectly plain beaker 1790-1820. Sometimes gilded inside. Usually marked on the body. About four inches high.
Generally, goblets without much character are less desirable. On the left is the plain thread edged variety made 1790 - 1810, and on the right one with a square base of the same period. Square bases are not very
popular for some reason, though it makes this one far more handsome.
An attractive pair of beakers of a type made from 1770 to 1810, though these are Scottish (as one can guess from the engraving) about 1790.
Early pair (about 1780) of bright-cut engraved goblets. Extremely desirable compared with the plain ones.

ANTIQUE SILVER TEA KETTLES AND URNS

This type of tea kettle is fairly typical of the first quarter of the eighteenth century. Hall-marking on the neck, as this example, is rather uncommon. The marks on the body will usually be found grouped underneath, and are often rather worn with cleaning away the carbon deposited by the lamp. The cover is often loose, and should- bear the maker’s mark and lion’s head erased or lion passant. The lamp is usually separate from the stand, and both should be fully marked. The drop handles which are usually found at this period, should also be part-marked. Kettles should-be carefully inspected for patches, which seem particularly prevalent. Kettles of this period vary very considerably in value according to quality and size (the bigger the better).
The earlier type of kettle was succeeded about 1725 by the “skittle-ball” type. The stand loses its handles, acquires a decorative apron between the feet, and the lamp is often in one piece with the stand. In this case,
the latter will not be marked, but the lamp will be, fully. Covers may be loose, sometimes will have a laid-on joint, but usually have a flush joint. In the last case only, the cover need not necessarily be marked. This type of kettle was made until about 1740 and this example, as may be seen from the rococo flat-chased border, is getting on for that date.
This type of kettle was made from 1740 - 1770. They are seldom completely plain, but tend to get more elaborate as they get later. The lamp and stand are invariably in one piece now.
A good Chinoiserie tea urn. Tea urns are always good value for money, because they are rather useless. They are bought for their decorative qualities.
A very fine octagonal tea kettle of the same period, which bears approximately the same relationship to the previous example as a round tea or coffee pot would bear to an octagonal example. They are extremely rare,
and usually of very fine quality.
A good Chinoiserie example of about 1765. This type of kettle, because of its decorative qualities, appeals to a different type of buyer, but is as valuable as the plainer type shown last. Look well in the embossing for
repairs or lead solder.
Tea urn, circa 1765
Coffee urn (as these small ones are called) circa 1790
Tea urn - vase shaped, circa 1790
The attractiveness or otherwise makes a big difference to the price of these objects. They largely replaced tea kettles in the last quarter of the eighteenth century, and those kettles that were made were pretty dull and are highly unsaleable unless very fine and unusual.
A George IV tea kettle vaguely in the George II taste, fitted with a tap instead of a spout (a late eighteenth century innovation).
Kettles replaced urns in popularity in the Victorian period. They follow teasets in style  embossed up to 1860, engraved thereafter. The embossed ones are more valuable.

SILVER BEER AND WINE JUGS AND EWERS
Beer and wine jugs are among the most popular and valuable of silver articles, and the earlier ones are of considerable rarity. Early covers may be fully marked, but all covers, if genuine, must bear the maker’s mark and lion passant or leopard’s head erased. Check for thin spots, patches, and torn out handles.
A very rare Charles II ewer and cover about eight inches high. Elegant handle and spout, early example of cut-card work decoration.
Queen Anne beer jug and cover with cut-card decoration on the spout. Original arms. Covered jugs are not necessarily more valuable than those without covers — weight and size are more important. This is an exceptionally good example.
Fine quality George I beer jug. The foot gets higher as the century goes on.
An example from about 1760, showing the taller and wider foot. Sometimes there is a rib round the body just above the widest part.
A very plain water pitcher dated 1802
A George IV teaset design jollied up with a fine cast handle. A perfectly genuine article
Two mid-19th century examples, both with fine embossed decoration. The one on the left has a racing subject which makes it about 15% more valuable than usual.
A beer jug of the same period. About ten inches high.
An attractive wine jug with sea subjects. Fine cast foot and handle, good embossing. About 1850.
Two jugs about 1860 when the fashion changed to engraving rather than embossing. Engraved jugs generally are about 30% cheaper than embossed ones, if over 100 years old. If not, about half price or less
A not uncommon type of wine jug, although the overlaid grapevines are more elaborate than usual. 1865-1880, about twelve inches high.
An exceptionally fine ewer and basin, the latter about twenty inches in diameter. Although the basin is far heavier, individually their values would be similar. The jug is much more desirable. The pair would not be worth much more than the two added together.
A very fine art nouveau example. Embossed in extremely high relief, some of the decoration applied.
