This pewter tankard, crafted by Johann Peter Lanius circa 1775-1825, is a fine example of decorative arts from the late 18th century. The tankard features a cylindrical body with a spiraling pattern, a hinged lid topped with a figure of a man, a handle, and three animal paw feet. These elements are characteristic of pewter work of the time, highlighting the craftsmanship and artistry used to create everyday objects. The tankard likely served as a container for beverages, reflecting the importance of social gatherings and communal drinking in the era.
