Vintage 1960s Dor Pewter 1-Pint Lidded Tankard | Glass Bottom | Made in Sheffield England

Up for sale is a beautiful vintage 1-pint lidded pewter tankard handcrafted by Dor Pewter in Sheffield, England, the historic heart of British metalworking. Combining classic styling with traditional tavern lore, this piece features a highly desirable hinged lid with a thumbpiece and a striking transparent glass bottom base. Historically, glass-bottom tankards allowed 18th-century tavern goers to keep an eye out for bar fights or check their drinks for hidden shillings slipped in by Navy press-gang recruiters. Today, this tankard serves as a fantastic functional drinking vessel for cold ales or a standout display piece for collectors of British breweriana and metalware. Stamped with the official "Dor Pewter" maker's mark and verified "PINT / Made in Sheffield, England" capacity stamps on the inner rim. Completely unengraved with no personal names, dates, or initials, making it perfect for customization or gifting. Features a smooth, polished finish, an elegant double-lined base, and a sturdy square handle. It weighs 456g, its measurements are 13cm width at its widest, and 14.5cm height. In excellent vintage condition with a gorgeous natural patina. The hinged lid functions smoothly, the glass seal is entirely intact, and the body maintains its structural shape beautifully with only light, expected surface micro-wear consistent with its age. Collectible, Collector's item.
