FAQs

Claret jugs became prominent in the Victorian era as dining rituals surrounding wine consumption grew increasingly elaborate, particularly for serving red Bordeaux.

They were typically crafted from blown and wheel-cut crystal or glass, fitted with mounts made from sterling silver or silver plate over a base metal.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the weight and clarity of the glass, the quality of the hand-cut motifs, and the presence of makers marks or silver plate stamps on the metal collar.

It can be displayed on a bar cart, sideboard, or open shelving to introduce reflective metallic surfaces and historical texture into a contemporary scheme.

Clean the glass with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh abrasives, and polish the silver mounts sparingly with a specialised non-abrasive cloth to protect the plating.
