Description

An excellent silver and glass hunting flask from early in the reign of George V. This handsome full sized example has a hinged, bayonet action lid with cork seal. The lid is free from initials or engraving and the interior is gilded. The long and slender glass body tapers towards the bottom and fits comfortably in the hand. Unusually, it retains the original leather case which is in lovely condition. A rare and sought after gift idea or collector's piece, still usable today. Dimensions below.

Condition :- Excellent, with no dents or splits to the silver and no chips or cracks to the glass. The original leather case is also in lovely condition.

A George V silver-mounted hunting flask from 1913, presented in the original dark brown leather case with visible stitched seams, a flap closure, and metal hardware. The tall, slender clear glass body of the flask tapers toward the bottom and is finished with a polished sterling silver bayonet cap and lid. The silver metal shows no dents, the glass is free of chips, and the leather holster displays a smooth finish with minor surface wear. The flask measures 21 cm high, 5 cm wide, and 5 cm deep. This functional antique piece suits display and use in a home today, fitting well on a sideboard top or within a collection of sporting silver. The fitted leather case provides secure storage, while the clear glass and bright silver elements create a striking contrast of materials. The plain surface of the lid remains unengraved, preserving its clean lines.

FAQs

A hunting flask, or saddle flask, is a tapered glass or metal vessel designed to hold spirits, traditionally fitted into a leather holster attached to a horse saddle during field sports.

Traditional early 20th-century hunting flasks feature hand-blown heavy glass bodies fitted with sterling silver or silver-plated bayonet caps, accompanied by thick stitched leather cases for saddle attachment.

Authentic George V pieces display British silver hallmarks indicating the assay office, maker, and date letter from between 1910 and 1936, along with hand-stitched leather casings.

A silver-mounted flask can be styled on a sideboard, gentlemans library shelf, or drinks tray alongside antique glassware to add a touch of traditional heritage character.

Clean the glass interior with warm water and mild detergent while avoiding contact with the outer silver, polish the silver mount gently with a soft cloth, and condition the leather casing periodically.
