notes: label: Description
content: Oversized, elaborately decorated, partial-gilt tankard on four flattened-ball feet featuring a low-relief, repousse chased scene of the goddess Diana leading a boar and stag hunt that moves clockwise around the body. The cast figures of Diana and her hunting dog, supported by six leafy scrolls topped by doves, surmount the cover, while a lion rampant holding an empty cartouche is the thumbpiece; the lower terminal consists of scrolled acanthus leaves from which spring two coiled wires terminating in banded balls. Gold washed interior. Underside of flat bottom is struck with nine marks, four maker's pseudo hallmarks for Neresheimer and five import marks for Berthold Müller, Chester, 1901.
