AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
For sale: a very fine and exceptionally large antique tin screw bottle (prismakan / Prismenkanne). This hexagonal model dates from the 18th century and is in a beautiful, authentic condition.
With a height of no less than 30 cm and a heavy weight of 2.5 kilograms, this is a rare large and robust specimen. It was probably used at the time as a guild tankard or as a household provisioning can.
Specifications:
- Condition: Good condition with normal signs of aging. The coarse screw thread on the inside and on the neck is in excellent, sharp condition and closes perfectly and squarely.
- Age: 18th century (ca. 1750-1800)
- Material: Pure quality tin (craftsmanship, weight 2.5 kg)
- Origin: Strasbourg / Basel region. The lid bears the city hallmark (crowned shield with three vertical bars), the personal master mark of the tin-smith, and the historic quality mark "VII" (7) with a control star.
- Dimensions: Height 30 cm, Width 13 cm
- Weight: 2.5 kg
- Colors: Characteristic tin gray / silver
