In the Victorian and Edwardian period, it was popular for wealthy gentleman to go to shooting parties, and also have a games room in their own homes to play billiards, snooker or cards. Ladies were very rarely allowed to attend.  The shooting lodges would be equipped with a bar and gentleman would often drink ale from silver plated or glass tankards.
 
This is a very good quality silver plated tankard from the end of the Victorian period, and would have used by a gentleman of wealth.
 
In very good condition with no ware to the silver plate or slits to the body.
