An exceptionally rare sealed vernacular mug or tankard, dated 1710 Of olive-green tint, the bulbous pear-shaped body with a slightly flared cylindrical neck trailed with a continuous glass thread, the scrolled handle with a pronounced thumbrest, applied to the shoulder with two seals both inscribed 'IOHN . PERCY . 1770' encircling a portcullis, all within a beaded border, the base with a pronounced footring and 'kick-up' underneath, 13.5cm high Footnotes: Provenance Sotheby's, 15 November 1994, lot 504 With Neil Willcox, July 1998 A C Hubbard Jr Collection Literature Ward Lloyd, A Wine Lover's Glasses (2000), p.110, pls.162-3 David Burton, A Wine Lover's Glasses (2015), p.556 It is exceptionally rare to find a tankard such as this in vernacular bottle glass. Historically known as 'gorges', tankards of this form are found in contemporary stoneware, silver and glass in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Whilst it has not been possible to associate the portcullis with the Percy family or to trace the John Percy to whom the seals relate, this important tankard is one of only a handful of related sealed examples known to survive. Just two other dated sealed tankards are recorded by Burton (2015), pp.532 and 590, both of which are in the Victoria and Albert Museum and of different form to the present lot. They include one applied with three seals dated 1700 (inv. no.C.10-1948) and one applied with four seals dated 1720 (inv. no.C.581-1925). A remarkable decanter jug of circa 1705-15 applied with six undated armorial seals, also in the Victoria and Albert Museum (inv. no.134-1908), would appear to be the only other sealed example comparable form to the present lot, see Burton (2015), p.1466. The similarities in shape of the body, handle and the trailed decoration around the neck are of particular note.
