About this item
Very stylish large silver lidded claret jug by James Dixon & Sons. Lovely arts & crafts style with round bellied baluster form with raised straps around the belly and neck, flared to a subtle spout, and domed lid with acorn knop. Then to a fabulous strap handle wrapped in woven raffia, splitting to 3 branches with ivy leaves at the end of each as the terminals. The thumb rest/lid pull is a dainty heart shape. There is a small, attractive engraved crest to the front of a lion. Hallmarked for Sheffield 1897.
It measures 26.8cm (10 1/2") high and 11.5cm (4 1/2") wide and weighs 655g/21.1ozt. It has an easy 900ml capacity.
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 is a very minor linear dent under the belly line which is very difficult to see in the photographs and a pin-prick dint to the right of the handle. Handling wear is light and appropriate for age.
