In his career as London goldsmith, roughly between the years 1668 and 1703, Thomas Jenkins produced an exceptional variety of forms and styles characteristic of the period. For example, his works include a wine cistern with Dutch-style foliate chasing from 1677, now in the Victoria and Albert Museum, a Baroque cut-card ewer and dish, circa 1685 and a pair of two handled cups with Chinoiserie decoration, dated 1688 and sold Christie's, New York, 26 April 2006, lot 246.

A tankard in the style of the present lot, engraved throughout and bearing the characteristic lion couchant, is illustrated in Arthur Grimwade and Judith Banister, "Thomas Jenkins Unveiled: A Leading Caroline Goldsmith," Connoisseur, July 1977, p. 175, no. 6.
