A remarkable and very rare pewter Royal portrait wrigglework flat-lid tankard, English, circa 1695-1700The drum designed with a portrait of William III, with sceptre, beneath a crown and flanked by the crowned initials 'W' and 'R', all within an oval, the Royal supporters of a lion and unicorn to each side, together with a rose and a thistle, the stepped lid designed with a tulip stem of three flowers, and with front denticulations, 'leafy' rams' horn thumbpiece and hollow handle with spade terminal, hallmarks on top of lid and touchmark in base of John Dunn, London, (fl.1683-1727), (PS35), height 17cm, diameter of lid 12.3cm.Provenance: Former David Little Collection. Sold Christie's, London, 1 May 2007, Lot 113Exhibited: Harvard House Museum, Stratford, 'Pewter and British Monarchy'There are believed to be only nine recorded pewter flat lids with a portrait of William III alone. There are approximately twenty flat-lids with double portraits of William and Mary, see Lot 22 in this sale. For a very similar flat-lid tankard see the Victoria and Albert Museum Collection, London (M.63-1945). The tankard, formerly in the Yeates Collection, is by the maker 'TC', but was very likely to have been decorated by the same hand as this Lot. A Further example, again by John Donne, is in the Colonial Williamsburg Collection, USA, by William Eddon, see J D Davis, 'Pewter at Colonial Williamsburg' (2003), p. 191, no. 237
A very rare William & Mary Royal commemorative double-portrait pewter wrigglework flat-lid tankard, circa 1690The straight-sided drum designed with a bust portrait of King William III and Mary II, below a crown and entwined cipher W/M R, all within an oval, flanked by a fanciful bird amongst foliage, the lid with front denticulations and decorated with a spray of three flowers, swan-neck handle with small rams' horn thumbpiece and boot-heel terminal, touchmark inside base (PS9142), height 15.4cm, diameter of lid 10.9cmThere are approximately twenty recorded pewter flat-lid tankards decorated with a double-portrait of William & Mary. The recorded examples are by various makers, but there are instances of near-identical decoration, strongly suggesting individual specialist engravers worked with several London pewterers to produce these highly prized commemorative tankards.
