This silver tankard, created by Jeremiah Dummer in 1705, exemplifies the craftsmanship of the early 18th century. The piece features a simple, cylindrical form with a hinged lid and a gracefully curved handle, indicative of the period's preference for understated elegance. Its silver surface is meticulously polished, reflecting light and highlighting the subtle curves of the design. This piece, currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, stands as a testament to Dummer's skill and the enduring allure of early American silversmithing.
