Yates Victorian Pewter Tankard Mug VR 1 Pint Size Circa 1860-70s England. Found at an estate sale of a collector of old

tulip export Pewter mug or tankard by James Yates. This is a nice piece of English pewter that
dates to the 1870s - 1880s era when Victorian pewter was stamped with the
Queen's mark in England of the crown and VR for Victoria Regina. It is a pint
size, and is marked twice with the crown and VR and corresponding numbers as
well as pint. It is about 5 inches high and about 3 1/2 inches diameter at the
base. It’s in good condition with no holes or cracks, a few light dings, and
the patina is original - I have not cleaned it. A lovely piece of antique pub pewter! It is also stamped with a crowned 'X' mark
inside on the bottom. This mark was introduced to show that the pewter was
good quality.

Items condition: Please take a moment to enlarge & view all the detailed photos, as
they are the true description for the condition of this item and override any
written description above. I'm
selling mostly used items purchased at Estate Sales. I try to describe
the best I can but the photos capture what may have been missed in the written
description. I try to describe everything to the best of my knowledge
but very few things I sell are Brand New and it will be stated in the listing
if they are new. If it looks like a stain, nick, or fading in the photographs
then it probably is, but I believe the condition of these items is part of
their charm.
