Vintage Silver Plated Claret Jug - Bacchus Mask Spout

Elegant Vintage Silver Plated & Cut Glass Claret Jug

A striking vintage claret jug or wine ewer, featuring a beautifully cut glass body and ornate silver-plated mounts. The highlight of this piece is the detailed repoussé mask at the spout, depicting Bacchus, a satyr, or a similar mythological figure, a classic motif for such items. The jug has a hinged lid with a decorative finial and an elegant scrolled handle.

The glass body showcases a traditional diamond and panel cut pattern, complemented by a star-cut design on the base. This piece is reminiscent of Victorian designs and may potentially be by a maker such as Falstaff of England, known for similar quality silver-plated ware.

Condition: Good vintage condition. The cut glass is clear and appears free from major chips or cracks based on images. The silver-plated mounts show some age-appropriate tarnish and minor wear, particularly on high-contact areas and the interior of the lid, which is typical for its age. The hinge is functional. A polish would enhance its appearance.

Weight: 929 grams.

Ideal for: Serving wine in style, as a sophisticated barware addition, or as a collectible piece of vintage tableware.
