FLAGGON (both styles shown above)
Handmade by Peter Goebel. *Historically inspired* Although this is not a documented piece, this style was very common in the 18th century. You will find this shape repeated in period silver and pewter pieces. This is a large cup, with a graceful taper. The body is tin lined copper, with a rolled rim. In the lidded version, the lid is attached to the body with an 18th century style hinge. This is a flaggon you will be proud to own or give as a gift! Dated: 18th century style. Materials: Copper or tin. Dimensions: 5 1/2" tall, 3 cup capacity.
FLAGGON $60.00

FLAGGON WITH TAVERN LID (above)
Handmade by Peter Goebel. *historically inspired* This is our basic flaggon above, with a tavern lid. A tavern lid was a simple lid that had a chain attaching it to the handle. You can also order these lids seperately for use on other cups. They are great for ceramic mugs. See dimensions under "FLAGGON", above. Lid and chain are copper.

TAVERN LID ONLY $20.00

VIRGINIA TANKARD (above)
Handmade by Peter Goebel. *Historic reproduction.* We know tin lined copper tankards were not uncommon in the 18th century, but finding existing examples is difficult. Because copper, like precious metals and pewter, is "recyclable", broken or outdated pieces were usually sold for scrap. Paul Revere made his fortune buying up scrap copper to line the hulls of ships. As a result, few examples of copperware are left. That is why we were so excited to find this original tin lined copper tankard! It was discovered in Virginia, and dated 1645. We have reproduced it exactly. It is of heavy guage copper, tin lined with a hemmed edge. It has a large, comfortable handle that is riveted to the body. This is a really special piece! Dated: 1645. Origin: English. Materials: copper, tin. Dimensions: 5" tall. 32 oz.
VIRGINIA TANKARD $65.00

CATHY'S CUP (above)
Handmade by Peter Goebel. *Historic reproduction.* Our good friend Cathy Johnson uncovered the original in Missouri. This style dates from the early 19th century, and can be seen in paintings and illustrations of the period. It has a reverse taper (larger at the top than the bottom), and a rolled edge. The hemmed handle is detached at the bottom, allowing the cup to be hung from a belt or apron. The original is tin, we are also offering it in tin lined copper. Dated: early 19th century. Origin: American. Materials: tin, or tin lined copper. Dimensions: 2 7/8" dia. top, x 2 1/2" base, x 3" tall. Holds about 1 cup.

DRINKING CANN (above)
Handmade by Peter Goebel. *Historic reproduction.* A "drinking cann" of tin is as accurate as you can get for a common man's cup! These were inexpensive, straight sided tin cups with a simple hemmed edge and handle. This cup was produced in great quantities throughout the 18th century. Dated: 18th century. Origin: English/American. Materials: tin. Dimensions: 3" dia. x 3 7/8" tall. 2 cup capacity. Available in tin or tin lined copper.

BEAKER (above)
Handmade by Peter Goebel. *Historic reproduction.* Beakers like these were very common, especially at the beginning of the 19th century. We have reproduced the two most popular sizes.
