With its restrained tapered form, substantial silver weight and generous pint-scale capacity, the piece is a handsome example of mid-20th-century british silverware. ㅤ the tankard is formed with a clean, gently tapered cylindrical body, deliberately free from excessive ornamentation and allowing the quality, proportions and highly polished surface of the sterling silver to take precedence. ㅤ a substantial c-shaped handle extends from the body and incorporates a traditional wrapped-over rim construction. This technique strengthens the upper edge while providing a subtle structural detail to the otherwise understated design. ㅤ the vessel is raised upon a stepped circular base, giving the tankard a stable foundation and introducing a restrained architectural element to its classic silhouette. ㅤ hallmarked in sheffield for 1944 during the reign of george v, the tankard bears the maker's mark of harrison fisher & co., a sheffield firm associated with british silver and tableware. ㅤ with a net sterling silver weight of 374.2 grams, the tankard has a particularly substantial feel when handled. Its approximately 600 ml capacity is slightly greater than the 568 ml british imperial pint, making it a generously proportioned drinking vessel. ㅤ the tankard remains in very good condition, with only minor surface marks consistent with age and no notable damage, bruising or repairs. It remains free from later presentation inscriptions or monograms, preserving the clean appearance of the original design. ㅤ the interior is clean, the vessel does not leak and the silver retains a beautiful bright patina, making the piece suitable for either practical use or display. ㅤ a refined and substantial example of wartime british silver, combining the craftsmanship of harrison fisher & co. With timeless form and impressive weight. Maker: harrison fisher & co.
