The Clarke/Cabott Tankard
View through Harvard Museums
Tapering cylindrical form tankard with dolphin thumbpiece, cut card ornament, gadrooning, and deeply molded handle with cylindrical scroll. Raised dome and bud finial. Made around 1690 and presented to the church almost a century later, in 1784, this tankard exemplifies Boston’s late 17th-century Baroque style. The object is also distinguished by its fine engraving, which represents the arms of the Clarke family.
