Goldsmith Johann Seliger (1696-1710) was born in Breslau and became a master in 1696. A similar tankard by Seliger was sold Christie's, London, 19 November 2002, lot 15. Additional tankards by Seliger are illustrated in C. Ehrnrooth, Silver Treasures from Livonia, Estonia, and Courland, Helsinki, 1991, no. 85, p. 131, and A. Leistikow, Baltisches Silber, Lüneburg, 1996, p. 152. The cover of the latter is also chased with a scene of Jacob and the angel, though in a different composition from the present lot.
