- Lot Description
Europe, Great Britain/United Kingdom, ca. 1780 to 1891 CE. A duo of antique pewter steins and one pewter tankard. One, made in 1780, bears the initials "J. D. K." on the lid with the date, and has a shield-like motif on a floral field, with the words "Es Bluhe" and "Jacksen" - perhaps family names - inscribed under the rim. The lid has a large lid atop its handle with a spherical finial. The second lacks a date, but its inscribed writing suggests a similar time frame as the first. Unfortunately this writing is now worn and nearly impossible to read. A stamp that reads "QUART" is under the rolled rim. A thick handle is on one side; there is no lid. Size of largest (tankard): 7.25" W x 5.75" H (18.4 cm x 14.6 cm)
The third is a commemorative tankard, larger than the other two, and roughly a century newer - dated 1891 - with three large handles and no lid. On the underside it is stamped, "K", a trumpet symbol, "James Dixon and Sons, Sheffield", "497", "Rowell", and "4". On one side, it reads, "Hertford College Scratch Fours 1891" and then the names of the four student rowers and the coxswain alongside their positions in the boat. The Hertford College crest, a hart's head with a cross above it, is at the center. Hertford College is one of Oxford's more than 30 constituent colleges, with former students including John Donne, Jonathan Swift, Thomas Hobbes, and Evelyn Waugh, the latter of whom, when asked what sport he played for his college, famously replied that he drank for it. This vessel commemorates the "scratch boat" from one of the rowing regattas that pepper the University of Oxford's schedule - the Victorian equivalent of a "beer boat".
