FINE ANTIQUE PEWTER QUART TANKARDMUG MEASURE

BY R W MCKENZIE BIRMINGHAM C19TH

Thisspouted pewter tankard dates to the Victorian era and is of “IMPERIAL QUART” capacity which

is markedto the left hand sideof the handle below the name of the maker, “R W MCKENZIE”.

Reuben and WilliamMcKenzie were brothers who were in partnership together in Birmingham.

To theright hand side of the handle there is a verification mark of VR over a shield

(Birmingham- see Marks and Marking of Weights and Measures of the British Isles – Ricketts& Douglas).

Unusually,this tankard has a pierced grill behind the spout, a feature not normally seenon

London made spouted mugs.

There is some surfacepitting but otherwise the tankard is in good condition with wear commensuratewith age
(see images), but no splits, holes or repairs, and would make a greatdisplay piece.
