About the Item
Antique English Pewter Mug 18th Century Hammered One-Pint Tankard Cup
An exceptional 18th-century English pewter mug, crafted in the traditional hammered one-pint tankard form with elegant proportions and a richly tactile surface. The piece showcases fine craftsmanship typical of Georgian pewterware, with a beaded rim and ogee base moulding, balanced by a hollow-cast loop handle that culminates in an acorn-shaped thumb rest a refined touch characteristic of 18th–19th century English design.
Measuring approximately H 4.25 × W 5.5 × D 4.75 inches, this tankard was made from thick-gauge pewter, a metal once prized nearly as highly as silver and gold for its luster and durability. The subtle hammer marks and natural patina create a warm, understated elegance that speaks to its long history and authentic handwork.
Dating to mid-1800s England, this fine pewter mug blends functional simplicity with decorative charm — ideal as a collector’s item, barware accent, or distinguished gentleman’s gift. Its weight and form embody the enduring appeal of British pewter craftsmanship.
In excellent antique condition, with light wear consistent with age and use.

Antique English Silver-Plated Coffee Pot, Victorian Era, Late 19th Century
Tall Cylindrical Form with Hinged Lid and Classical Proportions
This exceptional Antique English silver-plated coffee pot, dating to the late 19th century, is a distinguished example of Victorian-era table silver, combining refined craftsmanship with timeless functional elegance. Executed in a tall cylindrical form, the pot features a gracefully articulated pouring spout, a substantial curved handle, and a hinged domed lid fitted with a decorative thumb lift—designed for ease of use while maintaining heat during service.
The body is subtly banded and rests on a stepped circular base, lending architectural balance and visual authority. Its clean vertical profile reflects the restrained sophistication of late Victorian design, making it equally suitable as a functional serving vessel or a decorative silver object within curated interiors.
Origin & Period
Produced in England during the late Victorian period, this coffee pot reflects the high standards of traditional English silversmithing, when silver-plated wares were crafted to serve both domestic households and formal hospitality settings. Such vessels were integral to coffee, tea, and hot water service during formal dining and afternoon tea rituals.
The presence of maker’s marks stamped on the upper body confirms its period authenticity and adherence to established English production standards of the era.
Design & Decorative Appeal
The pot’s design balances practicality and elegance, with a well-proportioned spout for controlled pouring and a hinged lid that opens smoothly while remaining securely attached. The interior of the lid shows concentric turning marks, a characteristic feature of hand-finished silverware from the 19th century.
This versatile piece integrates beautifully into:
Traditional and period interiors
Classic English dining rooms
Layered tabletop and sideboard displays
Luxury bar or coffee service settings
Curated collections of antique silver
Its understated form allows it to complement both ornate Victorian silver collections and more minimalist, heritage-inspired interiors.
Craftsmanship & Materials
Material: Silver-plated metal
Technique: Hand-finished Victorian silverwork
Construction: Hinged lid, applied handle, stepped base
The silver-plated surface displays a soft, even patina, consistent with age and careful use, enhancing the pot’s authenticity and visual depth without diminishing its refined presence. This is not a decorative reproduction, but a genuine antique English silver vessel crafted for long-term use and lasting beauty.
Condition
Excellent antique condition, with light age-related wear and patina appropriate to its period. The structure remains sound, the hinge operates correctly, and the overall form retains strong definition and balance.
Interior Styling & Use
This antique coffee pot works beautifully as:
A functional coffee or hot water pot
A decorative silver accent for dining rooms or bars
A statement object in traditional or eclectic interiors
A collectible piece within a curated silverware display
