This brand-new tankard, crafted by the renowned pewter manufacturer James Yates, represents the pinnacle of traditional English craftsmanship. James Yates has been producing tankards in this pattern since around 1860, making this an authentic piece of history.

Manufactured in the UK, these solid pewter tankards follow the exact design and dimensions used by the company in the 19th century. This means that this tankard not only looks identical to those made over a century ago but also matches them in weight, coming in at a substantial 484g (17.07 oz). This heft sets it apart from many other manufacturers' tankards, which often weigh as little as 200g (7 oz) or average around 275g (9.7 oz). The weight and craftsmanship of these tankards place them in a league of their own.

Interestingly, this tankard shares the same style as the one seen in "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," adding a touch of cinematic flair to its historical authenticity.

The final two images show one of the original 159 year old James Yates tankards from 1865. While you can often find vintage James Yates tankards in varying conditions on eBay, this is a rare opportunity to own a brand-new, factory-fresh piece from the original manufacturer's workshop.

For beer or ale enthusiasts, this tankard is a must-have. It's unique, historically significant, and sure to be a great conversation starter at the pub, bar, or among friends.
