This English Victorian ceramic whisky carafe in a caddy dates from 1888 and belongs to the gentleman's library style. The piece combines a tan brown glazed ceramic body with silver-plated mounts and a wire caddy frame. The design includes a lower body imitating a basketweave pattern, a twisted rope border, a matching rope-twist handle on the jug, and a hinged silver-plated lid operated by a thumb lever. The silver-plated caddy stands on four round bun feet and incorporates two side handles styled as twisted rope. Full marks for the silversmith Mappin and Webb appear on the caddy, while the underside of the ceramic jug displays the Taylor and Tunnicliffe backstamp alongside the British design registration number 101826. Measuring 19 cm high, 16.5 cm wide, and 12.1 cm deep, this functional antique serves as a practical barware accessory or a decorative tabletop display. Placed on a sideboard top, it provides an authentic period accent for traditional interior schemes, suitable for serving spirits in a dining room, study, or home bar setting.

FAQs

A late 19th-century vessel designed for storing and serving spirits, combining glazed earthenware or stoneware with silver or silver-plated fittings and often a protective metal caddy frame.

These items were typically crafted from moulded glazed pottery or ceramic, featuring silver-plated spouts, hinged caps, rope-twist handles, and fitted metal caddy stands.

Look for period registration marks or manufacturer stamps on the ceramic base, hallmarks or makers marks on the metal mounts, and characteristic late 19th-century motifs like faux basketweave moulding.

Display the piece on a dark wood sideboard, vintage bar cart, or within a glass-fronted library cabinet alongside period glassware to add historical context.

Wipe the glazed ceramic body with a damp cloth, clean the silver-plated mounts using a soft microfibre cloth and specialized silver polish, and avoid submerging the piece entirely in water.
