Charming vintage metal mug or small tankard featuring an elaborate all-over embossed floral and botanical design. The deeply textured decoration has developed a dark, aged patina that gives the piece wonderful character and contrast. A substantial squared handle completes the rustic old-world look.
Likely a mid-to-late 20th century Indian export piece made from pewter or a similar pewter-type metal alloy. The underside bears a faint impressed mark, but it is difficult to read clearly.
Approximate measurements: 3½” high x 3” diameter, not including handle. Weight is approximately 8.3 oz.
Condition: Good vintage condition with substantial surface patina, oxidation, scratches, rubbing and finish wear consistent with age and use. Interior is darkened. Please review photographs closely, as the aged surface is part of the character of this piece.
A great decorative piece for a vintage bar, desk, bookshelf, curio display, or as a small holder for pencils or dried flowers.
