Summary

Description
Britain Loves Wikipedia at the Victoria and Albert Museum
The Robert Chalker Mazer, around 1490
English: The Robert Chalker Mazer

1480-1500
Great Britain
Maplewood with silver-gilt rim and boss.
Unmarked

The boss engraved with the Trinity, originally enamelled, an unidentified merchant\'s mark and the inscription ROBERT CHALKER IESUS. The base with an incised star and the initials P.P. By the end of the 15th century, mazers were standard, inexpensive drinking vessels. One load of 200 imported into Exeter in 1493 cost only 6 shillings and sixpence. Mazers were turned from maple wood burrs (knots) which were very hard, and had an attractive speckled grain when polished. The name itself derives from the Old German \'masar\', meaning \'spot\'.
