Pocket canteen (traveling set) 1709 - 1710

This small, portable canteen set, crafted by English silversmith Charles Overing between 1709 and 1710, showcases the craftsmanship of the period. It consists of a black leather case, a cup, a spoon, a knife, a fork, and four small drinking tubes. The set was designed for travel, allowing individuals to carry their own cutlery and drinking vessels, reflecting the practicality and elegance of early 18th-century design. The silver and leather construction further demonstrates the high quality of materials used in these utilitarian yet stylish objects.
