Description

This exceptional contemporary glass claret jug has a circular bulbous shaped form.

The neck of this cranberry coloured glass claret jug is fitted with the original hallmarked sterling silver mount fitted with a hinged cover.

The hallmarked hinged domed cover is surmounted with an impressive cast sterling silver finial realistically modelled in the form of a frosted ball on a golf tee.

This impressive glass and silver jug is fitted with a ribbed sterling silver handle accented with applied scrolling designs to the upper terminal, in junction with the plain silver mount.

The lower portion of the handle is segmented to form a plain wirework style support to the impressive and original cranberry coloured glass body.

The handle terminal further disperses to form three golf club designs; the central club incorporates a plain ball to the club's head.

This exceptional claret jug was crafted by the renowned and collectable makers the Guild of Handicraft; also known as Hart Gold & Silversmiths.
