For Sale by Hough & Son
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.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

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.
