Technical Description
An exceptionally rare Victorian Glass Water Jug dating to c1880.
Poring section to the front with an applied clear twisted rope handle. Tapered body with engraved Greek Key and neoclassical design.
It has a metal screw fitting to the underside of the base which opens to allow Ice to be inserted into the central chamber thus keeping the contents cool without watering them down.
Ice compartments on Jugs and Decanters from this period are exceptionally rare and this is the first example we have seen on a jug in over 20 years.
Part of a large exclusive private collection of 19th and 20th century glass, brought together over many years, that Exhibit will be presenting over the coming months.
