Elkington Sterling Neoclassical tall claret jugs, 1858. 29 troy ounces of English sterling.

David's notes: To see other examples of this rare item, put Elkington and tall sterling claret jugs into google or another search engine and you will see identical ones, often sold in pairs. They are often decorated with maidens or sirens or the Three Graces on either side, all in the Classical style. The form is Roman but the execution is fine Elkington work, when the company occasionally wandered off silver plate into the silver world. 16 inches high. Hallmarked on the lid and main body.
