Description

A good example of a Victorian hip flask. The main glass bottle has a removable silver base with gilt lining which can double as a drinking cup. The collar and top are also silver and the cap twists to lock in place. It is a good quality piece with some cut faceted detail on the top of the bottle and a nice finish. Both the top and base are fully hallmarked for London, 1899 and the makers Charles Fox & Co. The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
