STUDENTICA DEVIL–FORM TANKARD
Probably Switzerland, 1920s
Pewter and earthenware
17 × 16.5 × 12 cm
Provenance:
Swiss private collection
This very decorative tankard in the shape of a devil's head is a typical example of a ‘studentica’ object. This term, mainly used by collectors, refers to objects created for traditional student customs; fraternity paraphernalia, literature – and objects linked with students’ affinity of getting inebriated. The lid is reinforced all around with a ring made of pewter. The jug is in very good condition and shows no damage or restorations.
