Peg tankard 1812

This silver tankard, crafted in 1812 by Danish silversmith Isack Andersen Feldthus, is a fine example of decorative arts from the early 19th century. The tankard is adorned with intricate engravings, featuring a stylized floral motif on the base and a graceful, flowing pattern on the body. The hinged lid, topped with a sculpted lion holding a ball, adds an elegant touch to this functional piece of silverwork. The tankard, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is a testament to Feldthus's skill and artistry.
