This very colorfully enameled Bohemian tankard is quite large and would hold well over a quart. It was made for Heinrich Nossen and shows his family crest. It is dated 1594. the height is 23.5 centimeters (9.25 inches). It is a remarkable survivor for such a large piece of glass from the 1590s but it does have some minor condition issues. The tip of the handle curl is missing and there is a faint crack in the body in that location. Also there is slight chipping to the thumb rest at the top of the handle. None of this distracts from the appearance of this very skillfully enameled piece.
