Lidded pewter tankard by Jean Goardere, with a slender neck, bulbous base, and domed lid attached by a curved lever handle. The surface shows small casting marks and soft wear, giving the metal a quiet, matte character.
The profile is both utilitarian and sculptural — balanced proportions and a form made for daily use. French in origin, likely mid-20th century, though the shape echoes earlier designs.
