Description

Exceptionally Fine Solid Silver and Cut & Engraved Glass ‘Daisy’ Pattern Claret Jug by William Davenport, Birmingham, 1906.

The silver collar and lid hallmarked for 1906 silver. The collar is additionally struck with ‘WH’, for William Davenport.

The crystal body and the silver collar are both profusely decorated with daisies. The glass body is wheel cut with daisies, with an engraved star cut base. The silver collar is engraved with daisy designs.

Approx. height to the top of the thumb piece 23cms; approx. weight 561grs.

Condition is very good indeed. Some very small nibbles to the base MAY have been polished out. But these could equally be manufacturing imperfections, there from the outset - see the final few photos. Either way, these are only really visible when the base is turned over. Silver work is excellent.

A rare and beautiful piece.

This Edwardian claret jug dates from the period around 1910, reflecting classic English Country House style. The piece combines a clear glass body with a solid sterling silver collar, lid, handle, and finial, rendering a silver and clear colour palette. The transparent vessel features wheel-cut daisy motifs across the body and an engraved star pattern on the base, while the embossed silver collar and hinged lid display matching floral decoration. The notable angular handle incorporates a decorative thumb piece at the top. The jug stands 23 cm tall to the top of the thumb piece and weighs 561 g. In a modern interior, this item serves as a functional serving vessel on a sideboard top during dinner parties or gatherings. It can also stand as a decorative display object on a dining room sideboard or living room cabinet, adding a touch of traditional craftsmanship to the home.

FAQs

Silver-mounted claret jugs gained widespread popularity during the 19th and early 20th centuries as formal tableware designed specifically to decant and serve red wines from Bordeaux.

These vessels combine wheel-engraved or cut lead glass with sterling silver collars, hinged lids, and handles secured around the glass neck.

Authentic pieces feature full British assay hallmarks struck into the silver collar, indicating the town mark, silver purity mark, date letter, and silversmiths initials.

An antique jug can be displayed on a dining sideboard, drinks trolley, or within a glass display cabinet alongside contemporary barware.

Hand wash the interior glass using warm water, avoiding submersion of the silver collar, and polish the silver mount using a soft silver cloth.
