An Edwardian gentleman's hip flask dating from the period around 1900 combines silver plate, dark brown crocodile leather, and glass. The portable container has a curved rectangular body wrapped in textured crocodile leather with a vertical sight level window cut into the front to show the contents. A polished silver-plated cap with a bayonet hinge sits on top, and a matching removable silver-plated cup forms the base. Measuring 15 cm high, 9 cm wide, and 4 cm deep, the flask stands upright on a sideboard top or sits inside a pocket. The watertight piece serves drinks at home or outdoors, bringing vintage character to a study, library, or living room shelf.

FAQs

Late Victorian and Edwardian hip flasks were crafted for outdoor country pursuits, frequently combining glass bodies, protective leather jackets, and silver-plated bases designed to serve as removable drinking cups.

Authentic period pieces typically feature a moulded glass bottle encased in natural crocodile skin or pigskin leather, fitted with a silver-plated bayonet cap and a matching removable drinking sleeve.

Identify genuine period examples by checking for makers marks on the silver plate, a hinged bayonet cap mechanism, and authentic age-related wear around the leather sight level slot.

Integrate the piece into a modern interior by displaying it on a brass bar cart, positioning it on a curated tray alongside glass decanters, or placing it on dark wood shelving.

Buff the silver cup gently with a dry silver cloth avoiding contact with the skin, rinse the glass interior with warm water only, and apply a neutral cream to preserve the crocodile leather casing.
