What is a pocket spirit flask?

A pocket spirit flask is a small, portable container made to hold liquor securely in a pocket or hunting bag. These vessels often feature curved bodies to fit comfortably against the body and frequently include attached or removable drinking cups.

How do I identify a Victorian flask?

Victorian flasks typically display hallmarks indicating assay offices like Birmingham, Chester, London, or Sheffield during the nineteenth century. They often combine sterling silver with glass or crocodile leather, reflecting the manufacturing styles of that era.

Were these flasks used for hunting?

Many flasks were specifically designed for field sports, featuring captive caps that could not be dropped in the grass. These hunting style vessels often paired a glass body with a silver-plated or solid silver removable cup at the base.

What materials were used?

Makers utilised sterling silver, silver plate, and various types of glass including milk glass and cut crystal. Exterior coverings in crocodile leather or skin were also common additions to metal and glass frames.
