Antique Lenox and Gorham Stein or Tankard Antique Lenox and Gorham Stein or Tankard
Click image to enlarge
Description This impressive 1 pint stein or tankard has a porcelain body and a sterling silver hinged lid. The body is exquisitely decorated with a scene of 3 religious figures drinking together and the colours are shades of black, grey and brown. The hinged lid is of plain, domed form with a trefid-shaped thumb plate and a fleur de lys which connects the hinge to the lid. The base has the Lenox stamp that was used between 1896 and 1906. The lid has Gorham sterling marks and the design number C2543.
This tankard is in beautiful condition, especially considering it is over 100 years old. There are no chips or cracks to the porcelain, the decorative work is crisp and clear and there is no crazing externally or internally. To the main body, there are some pinhead indents but these are under the glaze so have clearly been caused during manufacture. The only issues to mention are some very small white spots/grazes to the handle (please see the photos below). They are just glaze deep so I assume the handle has rubbed or gently knocked against something during its life. The silver is in very good condition with no dents or bruises, the hinge works very well and the lid closes nice and flush to the rim of the tankard.
Please note that I am also listing another identical piece and will happily combine shipping costs should anyone wish to buy both. This description and photos below are of the actual piece you would be buying.

SHIPPING
All items are sent by Royal Mail Signed-For mail with full insurance cover in order to comply with Paypal regulations on Buyer Protection. Prices are calculated to include the weight of packaging as well as the weight of the item. I will automatically combine shipping costs at the best possible rate should anyone buy more than one item. **International Buyers please note that any local import duties due on items are the responsibility of the buyer **
Payment
Payment is required within 72 hours of committing to buy an item or an sale ending. Paypal is the preferred method of payment and the only option open to Overseas buyers. Cheques or Postal Orders are accepted from UK buyers subject to clearance of funds which normally takes about 5 working days after receipt. Buyers who wish to collect in person may pay in advance through Paypal or in cash upon collection.
Shipping
I endeavour to ship items within 2 working days of cleared payment. All packages are sent by Royal Mail Signed-For service and have adequate insurance built in to the postage cost. I do not make any profit on postage/insurance costs and don?t charge for packaging. To ensure items are safe in transit, I package them very well and, unfortunately, this does increase mailing costs somewhat. All packages must be signed for upon receipt. Failure to do so or collect a package will result in it being returned to me and the buyer will be responsible for the cost of re-sending the item. Any Import Duties, Taxes and other charges due on International purchases are the sole responsibility of the buyer. I am happy to combine postal charges for multiple purchases and have a policy of automatically refunding any overpaid postage if I have over-estimated it.
Terms of Sale
My aim is to try to ensure that items I sell fully meet the buyer\'s expectation and, for this reason, I provide photos of all aspects of items on sale and give a very detailed written description and condition report. PLEASE NOTE that all items sold are used and are either Antique or Vintage which means there will be some very light surface abrasions caused through cleaning and use.
If a buyer purchases an item and it does not match its description or photos, I will give a no quibble refund for the cost of the item and the shipping costs incurred. If, however, a buyer changes his/her mind about a purchase, then he/she may also return it for a full refund of the item\'s cost but the outward and return shipping costs will be the responsibility of the buyer.
Should you wish to return an item, please contact me as soon as possible after receiving it. To qualify for a refund, Items must be returned to the seller within 14 days of the date of receipt. Return postage must be by the same, secure method as that originally used to dispatch the item to the buyer which will normally be a Signed-For Mail Service with adequate compensation included. Once I have safely received the item and checked that it is unused and in the same condition as it was when it was originally dispatched, the relevant refund will be made to the buyer\'s Paypal account.
About Us
I source and re-home high quality antique and vintage silver at wholesale prices. On the odd occasion, I come across something that might have had a bit of a rough life but deserves a second chance rather than being consigned to the melting pot. In all cases, because buyers are purchasing from a distance, I always provide in-depth condition reports and multiple high-magnification images in my listings to give you as much information as possible.Through selling online, I maintain low overheads and try to set \'Buy It Now\' prices at a lower rate than those charged by most antique shops and fairs.
I am very passionate about the pieces I sell and am most happy when they go to a new home where they\'ll be fully appreciated.
Contact Us
If you have any questions whatsoever about an item I am selling, please feel free to contact me at [email removed by ]and I will be more than happy to answer them. Should you wish to collect or view any items, I am located in Amersham, Buckinghamshire.
