FAQs

A hunting flask, or saddle flask, is a tapered glass or metal vessel designed to hold spirits, traditionally fitted into a leather holster attached to a horse saddle during field sports.

Traditional early 20th-century hunting flasks feature hand-blown heavy glass bodies fitted with sterling silver or silver-plated bayonet caps, accompanied by thick stitched leather cases for saddle attachment.

Authentic George V pieces display British silver hallmarks indicating the assay office, maker, and date letter from between 1910 and 1936, along with hand-stitched leather casings.

A silver-mounted flask can be styled on a sideboard, gentlemans library shelf, or drinks tray alongside antique glassware to add a touch of traditional heritage character.

Clean the glass interior with warm water and mild detergent while avoiding contact with the outer silver, polish the silver mount gently with a soft cloth, and condition the leather casing periodically.
