Dragon Blade - Flame Blade Tankard by Ruth Thompson 14.6cm

Ruth Thompson Dragon Blade Tankard

A dragon coils around a long sword on this Ruth Thompson tankard, with curling flame-like detail framing the blade. Crossed swords decorate the bands above and below, while the handle takes the shape of an outstretched dragon wing.

The approximately 14.6 cm tankard has a hand-painted polyresin exterior in dark tones. The raised artwork gives the sword and dragon their own depth, making the design more sculptural than a flat illustration. It is a striking vessel for a fantasy collection built around dragons, blades and detailed character art.

A Dragon and Blade in Raised Relief

The central sword creates a clean vertical line through the flowing creature and flames. Repeating crossed blades around the rim ties the main scene to the wider body, and the wing handle adds a different outline at the side. Fans of Ruth Thompson’s dragon imagery will appreciate how the artwork wraps around the vessel.

Ruth Thompson’s blade-wrapped dragon brings intricate fantasy artwork to Goblets and Tankards. Freestanding creatures in Dragon Ornaments let the same interest spread across a shelf, with sculpted storage designs in Resin Boxes keeping little treasures close.

The blade imagery also makes the decorated designs in Letter Openers a fitting detail for a fantasy-themed writing desk.
