Tankard 1695 - 1705

This silver tankard, created by German goldsmith Johann Berend between 1695 and 1705, is a fine example of Baroque style. It features intricate engravings, a hinged lid with a detailed relief, and a scrolling handle. The tankard rests on three ball feet, each adorned with a detailed portrait. This piece, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the craftsmanship and decorative artistry of the late 17th century.
