FAQs

Claret jugs became prominent in the mid-to-late 19th century in Britain as formal dining habits evolved and the consumption of French red wine increased among the affluent classes.

These pieces typically combine blown and wheel-cut crystal glass bodies with electroplated nickel silver (EPNS) or sterling silver mounts, often featuring cast and chased handles and hinged lids.

Authenticity is determined by examining the weight and clarity of the glass, the sharpness of the hand-engraved motifs, and the presence of period maker marks or electroplate stamps on the silver mounts.

It can be displayed on a sideboard or bar cart as a decorative accent object, or utilised functionally for serving wine during formal dinner parties.

Wash by hand in warm soapy water using a soft cloth, avoid abrasive cleaners on the silver plate to preserve the finish, and dry thoroughly to prevent water spots on the glass.
