London 1891 Victorian Solid Silver Gilt and Cut Glass Spirit Flask of Large Proportions.

19th century
Description

Very attractive and striking London 1891 English hallmarked solid silver gilt large spirit flask with screw thread cork lined top and detachable silver drinking cup.

This lovely flask has a beautifully cut panel cut glass body with facet cut shoulders. The top is solid silver gilt, as is the heavy gauged removable drinking cup base. Both silver drinking cup and the top have very nicely and ornately engraved initials, and both are identically hallmarked.

This would have been an expensive piece when made.

The silver maker is Norman Marshall.

Size-6.25 inches high by 2.75 inches wide by 1.25 inches deep.

Weight-395 grams total, 100 grams silver only.

There is some slight nibbling just at the side corners of the glass body where it meets the cup, some handling wear to the silver gilt, and a tiny bump to the lid top.

In very good condition overall.

A lovely piece to use or display, and a great piece for the collector, and those who shoot, fish, and enjoy outdoor pursuits.

Declaration

Serpentine Antiques has dated this Victorian Silver Gilt Flask to the 1890s.

FAQs

A Victorian silver-gilt spirit flask is a portable liquid container produced during the late nineteenth century, designed to hold spirits for outdoor activities or travel. These items typically feature a glass body combined with sterling silver fittings that have been gilded with a thin layer of gold.

Late nineteenth-century spirit flasks were crafted with heavy molded or hand-cut glass bodies fitted with silver or silver-gilt mounts. They frequently incorporated a twist-and-lock bayonet cap lined with cork and a removable silver base cup intended for drinking.

Authentic British Victorian silver-gilt items feature full hallmarking, including a makers mark, the lion passant for sterling silver, a town mark such as the leopards head for London, a date letter, and the Queen Victoria duty mark.

An antique spirit flask functions well as a decorative accent on a drinks tray, sideboard, or within a curated bookshelf display. Combining polished metal and glass adds texture and historical balance to contemporary furniture.

Care for silver-gilt requires soft, non-abrasive cloths, as aggressive silver polishes can wear away the thin gold layer over time. The glass section should be washed carefully with mild soapy water, avoiding submersion of the silver mounts to prevent moisture damage.
