Galvanoplastische reproductie van een drinkkan met deksel met voorstellingen van mythologische figuren before 1880

This gold-plated silver tankard, created by Elkington & Co. before 1880, is a stunning example of electroplating, a process developed by the company in the mid-19th century. The tankard's intricate surface is adorned with engraved depictions of mythological figures and floral motifs, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship of the era. The tankard, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, stands as a testament to the artistry and technological innovations of the Victorian period.
