Description
An Early Victorian Silver-Mounted Green Glass Claret Jug, Charles Reily & George Storer, London, 1841
the baluster-shaped light green glass body cut in continuous horizontal oval lozenges, called "fish-eye" cut; discretely mounted with circular base, neck mount, and hinged cover, all engraved with Renaissance-style strapwork, plain silver scroll handle ending in an engraved trefoil, fully marked on foot and under spout, part-marked on cover, and stamped 383
height 11 1/4 in.
28.5 cm
The "fish eye" method of cutting glass greatly increases refraction and gives a watery effect to the piece. For Reily & Storer, see note to preceding lot.
