On offer is an antique English sterling silver christening tankard mug, engraved with the dedication Margaret Shela Scott March 1922. The tankard is of traditional form with a scroll handle, pedestal foot, and engraved floral and foliate decoration, typical of early 20th century English christening silver.

The tankard is hallmarked for Birmingham, with the date letter appearing to correspond to 1909, though the hallmark is worn. The maker’s mark is attributed to Joseph Gloster, a Birmingham silversmith active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for producing solid domestic and ceremonial silverware. Birmingham was one of England’s principal silver centres, recognised for its long standing assay office and skilled trade.

The tankard weighs approximately 95 grams and measures approximately 3.5 inches tall. The condition is good overall, with general surface wear consistent with age and use. The engraved inscription adds personal and historical interest, making this a meaningful example of English christening silver.
