Description

We are delighted to offer this magnificently decorated antique solid silver Victorian milk pitcher made in London, 1863 with marks for Henry Wilkinson.

This pitcher features a most wonderful three-dimensional design with high embossing. The entire body is sculpted with beautiful proportions and its surface is deeply hand-chased with floral, foliate and bird motifs.

The applied cast handle is equally attractive with a lovely curvature terminating with further foliate chased decorations which seamlessly blends in with the rest of the design.

What is particularly impressive with this pitcher is the level of detailing and depth of its decoration with a very crisp, high relief and an immaculately stippled background throughout that creates a beautiful contrast - a true testament to its quality and the time that has gone into crafting a single milk pitcher.

Its interior gilding (gold on top of solid silver), not only presents a contrasting tone but also prevents the liquid held within from reacting/oxidising with the silver.

Overall, an exquisite example of finely decorated Victorian silverware in a modest form factor, ideal for practical usage or for decorating an interior to elevate its splendour.

A full set of English hallmarks are present on the side of the pitcher.

FAQs

Victorian silver is characterised by eclectic revivals of historic styles, heavy ornamentation, and intricate hand-chased or embossed detailing.

These pieces were typically handcrafted from sterling silver using techniques such as spinning, casting, and hand-chasing, often featuring a gilded interior known as vermeil.

Authenticity is verified by examining the hallmarks stamped on the metal, which typically include a makers mark, a standard mark for sterling silver, a town mark such as the leopards head for London, and a date letter.

An antique silver jug can be styled as a small vase for fresh stems on a mantelpiece or displayed within a glass-fronted cabinet to introduce metallic contrast and historical texture.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a non-abrasive silver cloth and specialist polish, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip the natural oxidisation and patina from recessed chased designs.
