A Keswick School of Industrial Arts Silver Tankard and Cover, the tapering form with hammered interior and exterior, hallmarked KSIA, KESWICK, Chester 1953,
15.5cm
Sold for £350
Estimated at £150 - £250
Fully marked near handle and further part marked inside cover. Further stamped ‘Keswick’ near handle. The marks are generally clear. There is some overall surface scratching and wear, consistent with age and use. The cover is detached and the hinge and top of handle have each been polished to remove the solder. The surface is somewhat bright.
The polishing has probably been done to remove the old solder. It should be a straightforward repair to reattach the hinge to the top of the handle.
