Description
This very ornate figural pewter tankard was part of an estate from a German family. It has a name and number (perhaps a weight?) inscribed around the rim (Theodor Gustl Munchen, 79/IX.96.) and some words on the bottom (hard to make out) with the date and words "1871 Barth Munchen" cast on the side. There is a humorous scene on the lid--someone in a nightcap and nightshirt with a pillow fighting with a bearded man in uniform, and there are garlands of ribbons and fruit decorating the sides as well as some African faces. The piece is in good condition. I would welcome any information about this piece and its history and value!
