Director’s Choice – The Leopard’s Head & Fleur-De-Lys East Anglican Tankard

17th Century Tankard Norfolk, probably Norwich c.1678; unidentified maker.
Available at Koopman Rare Art
 
Our focus this week is this superb and pristine 17th century flat-lidded tankard that highlights the skill of the goldsmith and wealth of the patron in 17th century East Anglia. This gorgeous tankard featured in the exhibition last September at St Peter Mancroft Church. This exhibition explored the owners and lives of a number of pieces in the exhibition and included some copies of the Norwich Civic Plate.
