What is a silver mounted tyg?

A tyg is a multi-handled drinking vessel, and silver mounted versions feature protective metal rims or bases applied to the ceramic body. These pieces were made for communal drinking and often use durable stoneware from potteries like Doulton Lambeth.

How do I date a silver mounted flask?

You date these pieces by reading the silver hallmarks stamped on the metal mounts, which indicate the specific assay office and year. Styles also help narrow the period, moving from Victorian gothic influences to Edwardian and Art Deco designs.

What materials are used besides silver?

Common companion materials include cut crystal, moulded glass, salt-glazed stoneware and natural animal horn. These substances provided the durable body of the cup or flask while the silver added structural reinforcement and visual contrast.

How were antique spirit flasks used?

Spirit and hip flasks were designed for portable personal use, allowing travellers and sportsmen to carry liquor discreetly. Many included screw caps, hinged lids and occasionally nested collapsible cups for drinking on the go.
