A Queen Anne Silver Tankard by John East, London, 1712

tapering cylindrical and on spreading reeded foot, with a central reeded band, the scroll handle engraved with initials 'A' over 'ST', the hinged domed cover with scroll thumbpiece 17cm high, 20oz 2dwt, 625gr

Fully marked near rim and inside cover. Further marked with maker's mark only on handle. The marks are generally clear. There is some overall surface scratching and wear, consistent with age and use. There are no obvious thin areas of other evidence of an erasure but it is possible that something has been erased from the tankard. There is some minor bruising overall.
