This Edwardian solid sterling silver lidded glue pot is an exceptional piece of desk accessories, reflecting the refined design vibe of a gentleman's library. The vessel combines cut glass and silver materials, exhibiting a clear and silver colour palette. The piece takes a flared bell shape with diamond cut glass motifs, paired with a hallmarked silver lid, an integral silver brush handle, and engraved initials on the lid. The lid bears clear hallmarks for Birmingham 1915 alongside the maker's mark for Asprey & Co Ltd and an Asprey London stamp. The glass shows no chips to the sides or rim, and the brush features a few missing bristles. Measuring 8 cm high, 5 cm wide, and 5 cm deep, the glue pot fits neatly onto an office desk in a home today as a practical inkwell or workspace accessory. The compact dimensions allow it to sit comfortably alongside writing papers and stationery, bringing period character and functional utility to a study or writing desk.

FAQs

An antique silver-mounted glue pot is a specialised desktop accessory designed to hold liquid adhesive or mucilage, featuring a glass container and a silver lid fitted with an integral brush handle.

These pieces typically combine heavy lead crystal or diamond-cut glass vessels with solid sterling silver lids, often bearing hallmarks from established makers.

Authentic period examples display distinct British hallmarks stamped on the silver mounts, including makers marks, purity marks, and city assay symbols alongside precise hand-cut glass work.

This object can be placed on an office desk alongside modern stationery, displayed on a curated bookshelf, or repurposed on a vanity tray in a bedroom setting.

Gently wipe the silver mount with a soft silver-polishing cloth, taking care not to submerge original brush mechanisms completely in water, while wiping the glass exterior with damp microfiber.
