The mark is recorded in D. Mitchell, Silversmiths in Elizabethan and Stuart London, Their Lives and Their Marks, Woodbridge, 2017, p. 342, where Mitchell notes that Austin apprenticed to John Deighton gaining his freedom in 1678. He records a tankard of the same date as the present example and illustrates a chinoiseire tankard, op. cit., p. 341, fig. 167.
