Hukin & Heath Antique Silver Rim 'Flagon' Spirit Decanters
Here we have a pair [different dates] of Hukin & Heath silver mounted; bedside overnight glass spirit decanters of 'flagon form.
Although suggested here as primarily decanters, we have also seen them sold [and used] as 'cruet bottles', bedside 'milks', 'cordial bottles', etc.
As indicated above, these two decanters, although very similar are not a true pair, the first being assayed at Birmingham in 1905/1906 and the second at the London Assay in 1904/1905.
Equally, there is a very small weight difference [6g] and a small variance in the width of the glass flagon handle [2mm]. For most these variances are probably acceptable, but just in case..., you have been advised!
All things considered, we believe these are very worthy and have the potential for many uses in a busy; household, guest house or office environment.
If you have a guest house and have previously used Whisky 'Noggins' on the night-table, why not ring the changes and use these delightful flagons...and at this price they offer better value and help differentiate the clients view of the amnenities.
