What is a whisky noggin?

A whisky noggin is a small, single-serving decanter featuring a glass body and a silver mount with a handle and spout. These pieces were designed for individual measure at the table or desk. They appear frequently alongside silver-topped or plain glass constructions, often dating from the Edwardian era and the nineteen-twenties.

How do I date a silver jug?

You date a silver jug by locating the hallmarks stamped directly into the metal mount. These official marks include a date letter corresponding to a specific year and assay office. Additional dating clues come from the overall style, ranging from Victorian ornamentation to clean geometric Art Deco lines.

Are glass and silver jugs fragile?

The glass and crystal bodies require careful handling during washing and storage, while the solid silver mounts are robust. Most pieces tolerate normal domestic use provided they avoid thermal shock. Hand washing remains essential to preserve the clarity of the cut glass and the integrity of the silver surfaces.

What is the difference between a milk jug and a cream jug?

Milk jugs generally offer a slightly larger capacity for tea service, whereas cream jugs are built smaller for richer dairy. Both forms feature a pouring lip and a single handle. Silversmiths produced them across the Victorian, Edwardian, and George V periods in matching tea service configurations or as standalone items.
