Antique Blown and Cut Crystal Glass Silver Tall Wine Claret Jeg Pitcher Decanter
This Wine Claret is an estate find and as such it has been owned and presumably used prior to this listing. The Claret is an antique, you can see typical wear/scratch marks on the flat part of the bottom, where the claret meets the table top and slides on the surface when in use. In addition the bottom has a ground smooth pontil mark in the center. We know that the Claret was mouth blown. The cut pattern on the surface was done after the basic "pitcher" was made. It is a classic pattern that blends with many different crystal patterns. The silver mounting that forms the handle as well as the pouring spout and the hinged lid etc appears to be silver plate of high quality - it is beautiful elegant silver that one used to associate with Sheffield - Sheffield Silver, which is the town in England where Sheffield Plating was invented in the late 18th Century. Now, I don't think that this claret is as old as that nor can I be sure or say with certainty where it was made. It could very well be an American piece from the late 19th Century. Alll I mean to say it that this piece is very elegant, relatively old with many elements of hand crafting as well as an object of high quality. Excellent Antique Condition with imperfections (not damage) in the mouth blown crystal. SIlver is in good condition without damage.
A beautiful piece to grace your table when friends and family gather for special events and the Holiday Season that quiockly approaches.
