Hand Wrought English Sterling Silver Flagon Tankard Hallmarked by John Wirgman Date Marked 1764 with Floral Wreathed Armorial. Presented is a fantastic hand-hammered Colonial style footed tankard with a dome topped lid and a cut out thumb hallmarked in the lid and on the base for English Sterling silver made in 1764 with a makers script maker's mark of JW I believe to be for John Wirgman established in London in 1745. This great piece has a detailed engraved floral wreath framed armorial on the side and a dated engraved monogram on the bottom near hallmarks with a monogram of L. And a Dated dedication of Edgside 1746.

I have posted pictures of my research in the photos above. It is in stunning condition with no dents or dings, some slight nicks in the edges, a possible slight bend of thumb toward the dome of lid and some scratches from gentle use and care. This is an excellent example of the silver smiths' artistry and a great piece for display for the collector of fine art and antique silver.
