FAQs

Claret jugs gained immense popularity during the Victorian era as dining rituals became increasingly elaborate and formal. Wealthy households utilised these decorative vessels for serving red wine directly from the cask at the dining table.

These pieces were typically crafted from sterling silver or silver plate, often utilising techniques such as casting, repousse, chasing, and hand-engraving to create intricate floral or botanical motifs.

Authentic pieces usually bear clear British hallmarks, including a makers mark (such as for Reily & Storer), a date letter indicating the year of assay, a standard mark like the lion passant for sterling, and a town mark.

Such decorative silver pieces work effectively when displayed on a sideboard, within a glazed cabinet, or as a focal point on a dining table, contrasting against darker wood surfaces or minimalist stone countertops.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a specialist non-abrasive silver polish to preserve the fine chased details and original patina. It ought to be kept away from high humidity and direct sunlight to prevent tarnishing.
