Description

A magnificent large wine jug, wonderful quality made from a hefty piece of crystal beautifully hand cut.

The naturalistic handle is just lovely, the collar and lid smothered with repousse or embossed Grapevine decoration. The wonderful figural spout in the form of the head of Bacchus is the finishing flourish to a highly decorative and useful piece.

Unmarked, the jug dates to the Victorian era, around 1880. An impressive size, with a base diameter measuring 5 1/2", standing 11" tall to top of Pineapple finial and spanning 9 1/4" from spout to handle.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A Victorian claret jug is a glass or crystal vessel fitted with a metal mount, handle, and lid, specifically designed for serving red wine at formal dining tables during the late nineteenth century.

These vessels typically feature heavy cut crystal or blown glass bodies paired with electroplated nickel silver or solid sterling silver mounts, often decorated with cast or repousse metalwork.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples often exhibit makers marks or EPNS stamps on the metal collar, wear to the plating showing base metal at high contact points, precise hand-cut glass patterns, and period motifs such as classical masks or grapevine foliage.

An antique claret jug serves as a functional accent on a contemporary sideboard, dining table, or drinks trolley, pairing well with glass stemware and silver or brass bar accessories.

Hand wash the interior using warm water and mild liquid soap, avoiding abrasive pads, and gently polish the silver-plated exterior with a soft cloth and specialised silver cream to prevent oxidisation and loss of plating.
