Description

This impressive antique Edwardian sterling silver silver jug has a plain circular waisted form.

The surface of the jug is plain and unembellished.

The lower portion of the jug is ornamented with a convex domed band encircling the rim of the base.

This jug retains the original impressive narwhal tusk* handle fitted to impressive shaped sterling silver sockets.

* A narwhal is a medium sized toothed Arctic whale, the male of the species being characterised by its single 2-3 metre long tusk. The tusk is actually an incisor tooth which projects in a left-handed helix from the narwhal's upper jaw.
