Wooden Tankard With A Metal Band - Folk Art - 19th Century
A beautiful, cylindrical wooden tankard, a testament to folk art, crafted using a traditional stave-and-stave technique similar to that of small barrels. The body is held together by a band of plant material (likely root or willow), characteristic of traditional rural production. A solid, carved handle completes the piece, providing a firm and ergonomic grip. The inset base confirms the work of a skilled artisan, probably a woodworker or cooper. The dark patina on the interior suggests long-standing use, likely for consuming fermented beverages (beer or cider). This piece belongs to the tradition of utilitarian objects from eastern France and the Alpine region (Switzerland, Germany, Austria), where this type of craftsmanship was common in the 19th century.
