Literature. The term “mug” is traditionally used for a single-handed, lidless drinking vessel although these are often known as “tankards”. They are nearly all of either pint or half pint capacity. Antique silver mugs are very rarely found as early as tankards, the earliest seeming to date from about 1680

In very good condition. Lovely colour.

Maker: Robert Albin Cox

Robert Albin Cox, apprenticed to Humphrey Payne 1745, turned over to John Payne 1750, free 1752. First mark, as largeworker, 1752. Second mark 1758. Third mark 1759. Elected to the livery 1791, prime warden 1880. Died 1826. Robin was a specialist tankard maker, as was his master Humphrey Payne. Arthur Grimwade notes that due to Cox’s apparent longevity it's likely he had a son with the same name.
