Description

A beautiful crystal claret jug made by Asprey & Co with solid silver and gold gilded mount applied with Bacchanalian masks and vines, the spout formed as Bacchus mask, the hinged cover with acanthus bud, silver stamped and Asprey marked on mount and under cover.

The solid crystal compressed pear shaped body beautifully hand etched with fruiting grapevines and entwined foliage, with beaded top border and a deeply cut-star base and engraved to base ‘Brierley’

Comes with the original Asprey packaging, the box in slightly worn condition.

Very heavy, in very good original condition throughout, the gilding present and the glass with no chips or damage. Minor and typical wear to the underside of the base consistant with age and careful use.


Dimensions are:

13 inches high and 6 inches wide max.
I describe and photograph my pieces accurately and with the aim that on arrival each will exceed expectations.

I operate a full refund guarantee and am always happy to give free, honest and friendly advice.
