Assessment:
A good example of a late 18th to early 19th-century English pewter tankard. The form and handle design are consistent with Georgian period craftsmanship. Pewter tankards in this condition are sought after by collectors of antique metalware and pub memorabilia. Some surface wear is expected and only enhances historical appeal.

Authenticity Score: 90%
Patina, form, and quality of casting suggest this is a genuine period piece rather than a modern reproduction, though absence of a visible touchmark or hallmark prevents perfect certainty.
