English Pewter Co Kings Shilling Tankard - 1 Pint

100%

1 review

A handsome heavyweight tankard, telling the story of how Naval press gangs used to trick drinkers to enlist using glass bottomed tankards. The straight sided, heavy gauge tankard is complete with text that reads; 'The King's Shilling, England's navy while being the lifeline for the small island nation were always short of trained sailors. To get more men to join the navy the press gangs were sent out to recruit men between the ages of 18 and 55 some would be knocked unconscious, threatened with a sword, pistol, or musket, or plied with ale. Others would find a shilling at the bottom of their tankard of ale and since they were in possession for the king's shilling, they were in the navy. This led to landlords using glass bottom tankards. This tankard has its own glass bottom and comes complete with a Shilling. It is beautifully presented in a black velvet pouch and a premium branded gift box. Add your personalised engraving to the tankard for a unique celebratory gift or keepsake.   Product Details: Made in Sheffield UK 1 Pint Lead free pewter Includes Kings Shilling Please note: These tankards are expertly made and finished by hand and as such, some natural variations and small imperfections are to be expected. We consider it part of their charm as no two pieces are exactly alike.
