The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Tankard by Henry Will. A large, cylindrical metal container with a lid and handle. The container is made of dark-colored metal, likely pewter or silver. The body is tall and slightly tapered. A decorative band encircles the base. The handle is curved with a decorative scroll at the top where it meets the body. A small lever or finial protrudes from the top of the lid. The lid is slightly domed with a circular indentation in the center. The object sits on a white surface against a light-colored wall. A small ruler-like object and a label are placed in front of the container.
