Vintage Hammered Sheffield Pewter & Brass Tankard with Glass Bottom – 13cm

A vintage English pewter tankard, handcrafted in Sheffield and standing at 13 cm in height.

This piece features a distinct hammer-finished body, complemented by polished brass banding around the top rim and base. It is fitted with a traditional clear glass bottom and an ornate, heavy cast handle.

The exterior casing carries authentic touchmarks and pseudo-hallmarks: an 'S' enclosing a maker's mark within a shield, a purity stamp of '.92' indicating high-grade British standard modern pewter composition (92% tin alloyed for durability and luster), and a traditional castle/lighthouse emblem mirroring historical guild control marks. The underside is proudly engraved with "Hand Crafted Pewter Made in Sheffield, England".
