Tankard 1692 - 1693

This 17th century silver tankard, created by H.R. in London between 1692 and 1693, is a fine example of English silversmithing. It features a rounded body with a hinged lid and a handle that curves up to form a loop at the top, a classic design for a tankard. The tankard is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. While the tankard is a simple object, its craftsmanship and design reflect the standards of its time.
