This pair of mid-century bottle stoppers belongs to the Highland Hunting Lodge style. Each piece comprises a sterling silver cylindrical collar and a cast silver bird finial perched above a natural cork body, with a threaded metal screw and nut protruding from the base. The visible details include textured plumage on the pheasant figures, smooth polished silver mounts, mottled brown and beige tones in the organic cork, and a silver retaining bolt underneath. Measuring 6.5 cm high, 2 cm wide, and 2 cm deep, these accessories function as practical barware for sealing opened wine bottles. In a contemporary home, they suit placement on a dining room sideboard or a bar cart during dinner parties and gatherings.

FAQs

Silver bottle stoppers topped with sculpted animal finials, such as game birds, gained popularity in mid-twentieth-century Britain as luxury barware accessories. Premium retailers like Asprey crafted decorative silver stopper tops designed to fit spirit decanters and wine bottles for country estate entertaining.

These stoppers traditionally consist of a cast sterling silver decorative finial and mounting collar attached to a natural cork body. An internal threaded rod frequently secures the metal top directly through the centre of the cork bung.

Authentic London-made Asprey pieces feature full hallmarks stamped into the silver collar or base, including the makers mark, the leopards head town mark, the lion passant for sterling silver, and a specific date letter. The casting of the bird figures typically displays detailed feather chasing and precision finishing.

Position a pair of silver bird stoppers in vintage glass decanters displayed on a dark wood sideboard tray or a brass bar cart. They also function well as decorative objects set alongside crystal glassware within a gentlemans library or dining room cabinet.

Clean the silver section gently using a soft cloth and specialised silver polish, taking care to avoid contact with the cork. Never submerge the stoppers in water, as moisture causes natural cork to expand, degrade, and loosen from the central metal fixing.
