Brand: Antique
SKU: SA331315

1900 - 1920

Sold by TJR Trading

Description

This is an Edwardian silver and writhen glass hip flask. It was assayed in 1910/11 in London and made by Mosley, Flowers & Co.

It is hallmarked to the collar of the cap, and also to the base. The cap and the base both have engine turned decoration and the inside of the base is gilded.

It is 12cm tall and weighs a total of 286g.

The glass is in good condition with no craks or chips. The top of the lid has become slightly bent and the screw function of the cap does not keep the lid perfectly locked shut, though shouldn't stop it being used upright in a pocket.

The maker's mark on the neck is a bit rubbed but the rest of the hallmarks are clear. There are a couple of dents to the silver.
