Fabulous Victorian Silver Mounted Claret Jug

A fabulous Victorian silver mounted claret jug with a gorgeous cut glass body and made by the great Hukin and Heath. The hallmarked silver mount is stylish and understated. The silver extends from the hinged lid, to the collar and pouring lip. The handle sweeps downwards towards the base in serpentine form. The glass is rounded and tapering in shape and features a cut star to the base and exquisitely cut detailed patterns to the body. An excellent piece, both practical and decorative.
