"Cann" is a silver tankard crafted by William Breed, a prominent silversmith, around 1755-1760. The tankard, a popular drinking vessel of the time, is characterized by its elegant, curved form, a wide, flared base, and an elaborate handle with a rounded finial. This intricate design exemplifies the craftsmanship of the period and speaks to the artistry of Breed's work. The piece is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
