Copper
Tankard
This
traditional tapered tankard is 4.25 inches tall, over
2.75 inches wide at the mouth, 3.5 inches in diameter
at the base, and will hold about 16 oz of liquid (not
overwhelmingly large, and yet not so small to enjoy a
complete cold one). The body of the tankard is the authentic
two piece construction with a seperate bottom, not a modern
stamped one piece. It will fit the bill for a piece of
houseware pilfered by passing troops, campfollower's baggage
items, gentleman's mess, or any good pirate. Convenient
size for packing or transporting, and made intentionally
sturdy for many years of enjoyable use. The handle is
comfortable even for a larger man's hand.
$30.00 each |

1812. Approximately 8" high including the spout, 4-1/2"
- 5" wide and will hold about one quart. Made of stainless

Some
history: A pocket nutmeg grater was formerly a common gift
at Christmas and on other occasions of festivity, also made
in the 18th century in small fancy cases. The systematic production
of nutmeg graters began in the late seventeenth century. A revolution
in manners then gripped colonial America, as sophisticated Britons
on both sides of the Atlantic began serving punch -- a brew
of rum or brandy, fruit juice, sugars, and water laced with
grated nutmeg (& other spices)... then a nutmeg grater became
an essential addition to the 'punch equipage.'
