This clear glass conical whisky tot with sterling silver mounts dates from the Art Deco period, bearing hallmarks for 1930 from Birmingham maker Elkington & Co Ltd. The body features an applied loop handle, a star-cut glass base, and a hinged silver lid complete with a thumb grip and pouring lip. A kidney-shaped silver label inscribed with the word "Whisky" hangs from a fine chain around the neck of the decanter, carrying separate 1921 hallmarked details for Saunders & Shepherd. The clear glass and silver elements show no chips, cracks, dents, or splits. Measuring 10.6 cm high by 6 cm wide and 6 cm deep, this practical barware piece is ready for display and use on a sideboard top or within a gentleman's library setting.

FAQs

A whisky tot is a small individual decanter or jug introduced during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to serve a single dram of spirit. They commonly feature glass bodies fitted with sterling silver mounts and hinged lids.

Whisky tots were predominantly crafted using lead crystal or blown glass paired with hallmarked sterling silver or silver-plated collars, lids, and hanging identification labels.

Authentic pieces feature British hallmarks stamped onto the silver collar, lid, and label, along with hand-cut glass details such as starburst patterns on the base.

Position the tot on a tray atop a sideboard, bar cart, or shelving unit alongside complementary antique glassware and silver bar accessories.

Clean the glass interior with warm water and mild liquid detergent while avoiding contact with the silver. Polish the silver mounts gently with a specialised silver polishing cloth to remove oxidisation.
