Antique Elkington 'Squirrel' Silver Plated Claret Jug

19th century

Sold by The Silver Cabinet

Description

This is a wonderful example of a mid Victorian cut glass claret jug, made by the highly revered firm of Elkington & Co.

The electroplated mounts are stamped ELKINGTON & CO FECT and STOCKER'S PATENT around the rim of the spout. The sprung handle, with engraved decoration, operates the lifting of the heavy glass domed stopper. Fruiting vines decorate the body of the glass jug which, unusually, features a feeding squirrel on the finial. There is damage to the glass around the top rim and there are also a few nibbles on the body. The heavy glass has a starburst base - always a sign of quality. It is a lovely, heavy piece.
