declaration
The Fancy Fox has clarified that the Victorian Arts & Crafts Silver Claret Jug / Wine Ewer (LA336451) is genuinely of
the period declared with the date/period of manufacture being 1897
condition
Condition is very good; there has been a small and neat repair to the thumb rest on the cover at the base where is joins so it is well tucked away. There are some small areas of fire stain to the cover as a result but they are very subtle and minimally detracting. There is a very minor linear dent under the belly line which I haven't been able to show in photos and a pin-prick dint to the right of the handle. Handling wear is light and appropriate for age.
