FAQs

Popularised during the nineteenth century, Victorian hip flasks were compact, contoured containers designed to carry spirits discreetly in a pocket or jacket during outdoor pursuits.

These flasks were commonly constructed from glass or solid silver bodies, featuring hand-stitched leather upper sectionssuch as crocodile or pigskinand sterling silver removable bases or bayonet tops.

Authentic Victorian examples bear official silver hallmarks indicating the assay office, makers mark, purity mark such as the lion passant for English sterling silver, and a specific date letter.

Display the flask alongside vintage glassware on a timber bar cart, within a library bookcase, or atop a sideboard to add historical detail to a modern living space.

Polish the silver sections using a soft cloth and specialist silver foam, taking care to prevent liquids from reaching the leather trim, which requires gentle treatment with dedicated leather conditioner.
