This firm had a substantial Export Market. The produced flatware, mugs, tankards, teapots etc. The quality of the metal in their hollowware was excellent whereas the metal in some of their flatware contains some lead.
This tankard is in near fine condition. The mark is “as struck” meaning that was all that was there it is not a strong impression. Lathe marks show clearly on the inside of the lid and on the bottom of the tankard. There is a small old repair that slightly shows on the inside of the body to the side of the lower handle terminal connection..
