Hello my name is Andrew Campbell, welcome to AC Silver.
This large, fine and impressive antique French silver gilt and glass claret jug has been
realistically modelled in the form of a cockatoo.
It has an imposing blown glass body which has an applied thread decorated handle.
The jug is supported by two realistically modelled hallmarked silver gilt legs; the
hallmarks are very clear, the chased decoration is very crisp, while retaining the original
gilding.
The silver gilt hinged hallmarked cover and mount have been realistically modelled in
the form of a sulpher crested cockatoo's head.
All the decoration once again is very crisp and sharp.
The cover retains the original bead eyes.
The hallmarks are very clear.
Such claret jugs are becoming increasingly hard to find in perfect condition.
The highlighted features of this exceptional claret jug make it one that could be sold
with my highest recommendations.
If you require any further information or assistance regarding this exceptional claret
jug, please do not hesitate to contact us via telephone or email.
