FAQs

A tyg is a large drinking vessel, traditionally constructed with three or more handles, designed to be shared among individuals during communal celebrations or toasts. Popularised in ceramic form during the seventeenth century, silver-mounted glass versions emerged in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras as decorative drinking vessels and presentation pieces.

Edwardian glass tygs combine heavy lead crystal glass with a hallmarked sterling silver collar fixed around the top rim. The body of the vessel frequently features cut panelled sides, applied glass loop handles, and a starburst cut pattern worked into the underside of the base.

Authentic pieces feature official British assay marks stamped into the silver collar, including a makers mark, town mark such as an anchor for Birmingham, a sterling silver purity mark, and a specific date letter. The glass component typically exhibits notable weight, hand-cut clarity, and precise wheel-cut details.

A silver-mounted glass tyg functions effectively as a decorative object placed on a sideboard top, bookshelf, or bar cart. It can also serve as a desk tidy for pens or a vessel for small floral displays within contemporary and classic decorative schemes.

Clean the glass body using warm water and mild liquid soap, avoiding submerging the join between the silver collar and the glass. Polish the silver collar using a soft microfibre cloth and specialised silver polish, preventing chemical liquid from pooling under the metal rim.
