[QUOTE="cxgirl, post: 9422675, member: 63"]Hi All, my friend just stopped with this sweet piece he picked up at VV:) Stands just under 4"H, weighs 214g. I'm stumped with the marks on the base - Initials KL MC, then looks like a date letter 'a' under the 'm', crowned leopard head and another date letter 'I'. I can't find a maker mark for KL MC, so maybe the owners initials, a gift to a couple? Although I would think they would be marked on the front, but ... No duty mark, could this be from the 1700s? Would the design be original or added at a later time and that is why there would be 2 date letters? Is this considered a tankard? any information appreciated thanks for looking:) [ATTACH=full]432953[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]432954[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]432955[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]432956[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]432957[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]432958[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]432959[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
