Tankards were very common in taverns and alehouses. From the seventeenth century onwards, there was scarcely a household in Britain that did not possess some items of pewter: plates, bowls, tankards, spoons, candlesticks were just some of the everyday items made from pewter. Pewter tankards were used in public houses from the 17th century through to the 20th century.
 
This is a large Flagon /Tankard /Stien, made from spun pewter with a side handle and hinged lid.
It was made at the beginning of the 20th century but would be suitable to be used in an ealier production as this design has not been changed for many centuries.
 
In very good condition
