1900 - 1920
For Sale by Puckerings
Description

FAQs

During the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, spirit flasks evolved from utilitarian field items into refined personal accessories. Craftspeople combined blown glass bodies with sterling silver mounts and cups to ensure the contents remained untainted by metal oxidation while presenting an elegant appearance for field sports and social gatherings.

Antique hip flasks from this period typically feature hand-blown clear glass containers fitted with sterling silver or silver-plated caps, collars, and removable bases. High-status examples used solid sterling silver components bearing official British assay hallmarks.

Authenticity is verified by checking for British assay hallmarks stamped onto both the silver body sleeve and the cap mechanism. Look for bayonet twist-lock caps or cork-lined hinged lids, as well as period hand-fitted construction between the glass body and metal mountings.

Small antique silver vessels serve as effective accents on drinks trays, bar carts, open bookshelves, or sideboards. Arranging them alongside vintage glassware or leather-bound books enhances a classic study or living space.

Polishing the sterling silver with a soft cloth and dedicated silver polish removes tarnish without damaging the metal. The glass interior should be rinsed with lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding complete submersion to prevent liquid from trapping under the fixed metal mounts or degrading internal cork seals.
