| I have come across this stein/tankard and was wondering if anyone could give me any information about it. It is marked on the bottom Rogers Smith and Co Conn in a circle with New Haven in the center of the circle and the number 68 underneath it. I'm assuming it is silverplate.

| Is it inscribed "Pauline"? How big is it? It looks sort of like a baby cup. |

| It looks like a cup...perhaps originally went with a coffee set....or perhaps a punch set, depending on the size. Most likely silver plate. The design appears to have been influenced by the Eastlake movement. Linda C |

| I would call the incised decoration on it Anglo-Japanese or Anglo-Japanesque, which would place it in the 1880s. |
|
| I am also curious as to how large it is. |

| So call me a liar for 10 years...LOL!! But I agree with you!! The head on the handle confuses me a bit too.... |
