2079

A Victorian Silver Claret-Jug
by Edward and John Barnard, London, 1866, With Design Registration Diamond for 29 November 1854

pear-shaped and on spreading foot, the body engraved with stars, Greek-key ornament and a vacant cartouche, the hinged cover with butterfly thumbpiece, with snake handle

33.5cm high, 27oz 5dwt, 848gr

Sold for £1,300
Estimated at £600 - £800


 

Fully marked under spout. Further part marked inside cover and under base. The marks under the spout with some wear but all are still legible. Further marked with design registration diamond. There is some overall surface scratching and wear, consistent with age and use. There are some minor bruises to the vacant cartouche which has probably been erased. There is a bruise to the foot so the claret-jug rocks slightly when placed on a flat surface.
