tankards

Handled beer cups

A tankard is a large drinking vessel, typically made of metal such as pewter or silver, with a handle and often a hinged lid.

Tankards are traditionally used for beer or ale and are associated with taverns and ceremonial drinking.

The pub displayed antique pewter tankards behind the bar.

Though less common today than in centuries past, tankards remain popular as collectibles and gifts.
