Edwardian Silver Double Spirit Measure, 1907
Here we have an attractive and practical Edwardian Sterling Silver Double Spirit Measure or Jigger. The measure is hourglass shaped with the two cups joined in the middle. Each cup holds 25ml or 1/6th gill of liquid. There are no initials or personalisation of any kind.
The spirit measure was made in London by Horace Woodward & Co and dates to 1907. The firm was established around 1850 by George Cartwright and Joseph Hirons, with Horace Woodward joining as a partner in 1853. They were silversmiths and electroplaters, active in both Birmingham and London and were involved in the Great Exhibition (1851) and many other international fairs. In 1865 Woodward became the sole proprietor and the name of the firm was changed to Horace Woodward & Co. Woodward left the company in 1883 but it continued under his name until it was bought by Adie Brothers in 1919.
Although it has clearly been used, overall condition is good with just a slight misshaping on the cups plus the superficial surface wear that you would anticipate after over 115 years of good service. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The jigger stands 7cm / 2.75ins high and is 3.9cm / 1.5ins in diameter. It weighs in at a very respectable 45.3g / 1.6oz of solid Sterling Silver.
The hallmarks, on the side of one cup, are nice and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the leopard's head assay mark for London, the date letter m for 1907 and the distinctive H W & Co Ld for Horace Woodward & Co Ltd.
Shipping in the UK is £6 by Royal Mail Tracked 24.
Overseas customers, please ask us about shipping costs to your country before making a purchase.
