James Yates Solid Pewter Baluster Tankard - Brand New
Condition: Brand New

This brand-new tankard is crafted by the renowned James Yates, a pewter manufacturer with a legacy dating back to 1860. Known for producing traditional English tankards, this piece exemplifies the pinnacle of craftsmanship, staying true to the 19th-century design and dimensions.

The James Yates solid pewter Baluster tankard is produced in the UK and adheres strictly to the same specifications as its 19th and early 20th-century predecessors. As a result, this tankard not only looks identical to those made over a century ago but is actually identical in weight as well—weighing in at a substantial 584g (1.29 lb). This makes it significantly heavier and more robust than most tankards from other manufacturers.

Many other companies do not disclose the weight of their tankards, but we have conducted a comparative study: while some tankards weigh as little as 200g (7 oz) and the average is around 275g (9.7 oz), the James Yates 584g tankards stand out for their superior weight and quality.

The last two images show two James Yates tankards that were made over 100 years ago. These historic pieces are indistinguishable from the current model in terms of size, weight, and craftsmanship, underscoring the enduring quality of James Yates' work. While you may find vintage James Yates tankards in varying conditions on the market, this is a rare opportunity to own a factory-fresh, brand-new tankard straight from the original manufacturer’s workshop.

If you enjoy your beer or ale, this tankard is not just a drinking vessel—it’s a unique and authentic piece of history that is sure to be a talking point at the pub, bar, or among friends.
