About the Item

An Important Charles II Tankard and Cover Made in London in 1681 by John Duck This extremely fine piece is of a large tapering cylindrical form with a reeded skirted base. The sides are unusually embossed with a lower band of matted acanthus spears and palm motifs. The "S" scroll handle rises to a central bold beaded rat tail and five lug hinge and extremely unusual cast entwined dolphin thumb piece. The base of the handle terminates in an unusual shield shaped end. The stepped cover has a wide rim which is engraved with reeded bands and displays a pointed front. The flat top is also embossed with swirling acanthus foliage on a matted ground, with central flower head. The front is engraved with a beautiful set of betrothal initials and the date of the marriage 1682, all surrounded by an exceptionally executed prick dot engraved cartouche of entwined floral sprays. The Tankard is fully marked on the side of the main body and on the cover. It also has a good maker's mark on the handle. The Tankard also has a later wooden, brass bound and velvet lined, fitted case. This piece is in outstanding condition with no repairs, very little wear, a good patina and no pushing of the handle. It has three very fine sets of marks and its original engraving. It is unusual, as it displays Betrothal engraving (rather than the usual Armorial) and would have been made as a gift to a married couple from a very wealthy relative/donor. It is also desirable as it is one of the acanthus decorated tankards, as nearly all are plain at this date and the dolphin cast thumb piece is very unusual and has been cast to the highest standard. The fitted case was made when it was last on the market, many decades ago, and this has helped maintain its wonderful condition. This is certainly one of the finest tankards, from this period, which we have offered over the years. It will be featured in the August 23rd, 2023, issue of Country Life Magazine. Additional information: Height, to the top of the thumbpiece: 7.6 inches, 19 cm. Base Diameter: 5.6 inches, 14cm. Length, including the handle: 8.5 inches, 21.25 cm.
