A Large Baronial Copper Ale or Cider Jug from the Arts and Crafts Period, Circa 1890

This most impressive and beautifully hand crafted copper jug is made from a heavy gauge copper sheet which has been gently beaten into the shaped elements to produce this particularly handsome jug, then assembled using brazed silver soldered dovetail joints. The decorative panel on the front of the jug is oval and also hand decorated with a coat of arms which includes a shield, knights’ helmet and intricate foliate scrolls all produced with chisels and small tools using the hand raised and chasing process which is then finished with engraved detailing. This panel has been separately applied with solder to the front of the jug and gives this piece its unique baronial styling which is very pleasing to the eye. Generally, in very good condition with a few small age related small marks and dinks.
