Antique Silver Topped Claret Jug
This impressive claret jug features a beautifully cut crystal body, topped with a hallmarked silver collar, handle, and ornate lid. The silverwork is richly decorated with scrolling foliage and floral motifs, adding to the jug’s Victorian aesthetic. Crafted by Samuel Watton in 1890, this piece exemplifies the quality craftsmanship of the era and would have been a centrepiece for any dining table.
Condition and Collectibility
The claret jug is offered in antique condition, with expected wear commensurate with age. The lid is currently detached, but present. This piece presents a wonderful opportunity for a collector of antique silver or crystal, or for someone seeking a unique and elegant addition to their home décor. Its age, craftsmanship, and hallmarked silver make it a desirable item for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
