FAQs

A sterling silver hip flask is a portable liquid container crafted from 92.5% pure silver, historically designed to fit discreetly inside a coat pocket for carrying spirits.

Flasks from this era were typically formed with a gentle body curve, featuring soldered seams, hinged bayonet twist caps, and often a detachable silver drinking cup fitted to the lower section.

Authentic pieces feature official assay office stamps, including the lion passant symbol for sterling silver purity, a date letter, an assay town mark, and the makers initials.

Display the flask upright on a wooden sideboard, desk tray, or styled bar cart alongside crystal glassware and antique bar accessories.

Rinse the interior using warm water only, and gently clean the exterior with a dedicated silver polishing cloth to avoid abrasive surface wear.
