Description
Mark: S E, capital letters, in an oval near the finial; and S . E, capital letters, raised pellet between, in shield with crown above and fleur-de-lys below, on bottom <br/> Engraved: H*F <br/> Exhibited: Newton College of the Sacred Heart; Newton, Massachusetts; March 10, 1963; no. 7. Salve Regina College; Newport, Rhode Island; May 17, 1964; no. 7. <br/> Dimensions: H. 8 3/8" D. of bottom 4 7/8" D. of top 3 1/2" 20.6 ozt. <br/> This tankard has the basic characteristic elements of Boston-style tankards except for the absent midband. It is similar to William Simpkins' earlier tankard. The sides are tapered, giving height and slenderness to the tankard. The moulded rim and baseband ornament the tankard. The domed stepped lid has incised lines on its lip which turns downward. A bell-shaped finial rests atop this lid. The scroll handle has an elliptical terminal with a slightly pointed body drop and a disk at the lower body joining. The thumbpiece is erect and double-scrolled. It is engraved H*F in block letters on the handle. |
