A Rare Scottish Provincial Silver Gin Label

19th century
Description

A good example of rare Scottish provincial silver. This lovely Gin label is made by James Erskine of Aberdeen, Scotland. It is of tablet form with clipped corners and has 'GIN' engraved in pricked capitals to the centre. It is supported on a belcher chain and only features the makers mark to the reverse, common practice with small provincial items such as this. A rare piece, of smaller portions, suggesting use as a bottle ticket rather than a full sized decanter label. A wonderful collectors piece, still usable today. Dimensions below.

FAQs

Decanter labels, also known as bottle tickets, originated in the eighteenth century to identify the contents of unlabelled glass decanters containing spirits, wines, or liqueurs.

Antique bottle tickets were typically handcrafted from sterling silver, Sheffield plate, or enamel, featuring hand-engraved lettering and delicate suspension chains.

Authentic Scottish provincial silver pieces are identified by specific maker marks and town marks stamped into the metal, distinct from central assay hallmarks used in Edinburgh or London.

These pieces can be styled by suspending them around glass decanters on a sideboard or bar cart, placed in framed display boxes, or arranged within a tabletop silver collection.

Clean silver labels gently using a soft lint-free cloth and specialist silver polish, avoiding harsh chemicals that could wear down fine engraving or stamped hallmarks over time.
