Tankard
Edward Pocock
Hallmarked London, 1734
This Georgian tankard, crafted by the esteemed London silversmith Edward Pocock, represents the popularity of beer and ale as the primary alcoholic beverages of the time. Tankards, along with cups, covers, flagons and tazzas, were often displayed on sideboards in dining halls, where they gleamed under candlelight in the evening. Drinks were poured and kept on the sideboard until requested by diners, typically accompanied by a toast to the host. Due to the elaborate presentation of food, such as cooked swans and decorated sheep and boar heads, there was little room on the table for displaying plateware.
This particular tankard features the coat of arms of the Earl of Denbigh, a title in the Peerage of England. Silver manufactured for these noble families would be among the finest on the market. The Earls of Denbigh have been influential in British history, especially during the 17th and 18th centuries, contributing to military, political and diplomatic endeavors. The family remains active in British politics and research today. This tankard was likely crafted for William Feilding, 5th Earl of Denbigh who held his noble seat until 1755
