Wonderful Victorian Silver Plated & Cut Glass Claret Jug

This is a superb 19th Century Victorian antique silver plated and cut glass claret jug. The mount is in the Rococo style and has a hinged lid with ball knop. There is an engraved pattern to the lid and collar, featuring fruiting vine. The fully cast naturalistic handle follows this theme and the pouring lip has a Bacchus mask. The glass body is beautifully cut with anthemis flowers, leaves and roundels and has a cut star to the base. A most attractive, practical example and a great gift idea.
