Plain Pewter Tankard With Glass Base

Plain Pewter Tankard With Glass Base

This 1 pint pewter tankard keeps to tradition with its plain polished body, enhanced by a clear glass base. Once a feature of old pub design, the glass bottom allowed drinkers to check their ale – and, according to legend, to spot the hidden “King’s Shilling” sometimes dropped inside to recruit unsuspecting sailors. The tankard is finished with a sturdy square handle and polished shine inside and out, offering generous space for engraving to create a personal keepsake. Handcrafted from high-quality, lead-free pewter, it is supplied in a simple gift box, with upgrades to a silk-lined or wooden box.
