Pair of silver and crystal claret jugs by Charles Hack

Each claret jug in this pair features an ovoid glass body, the glass surface fluted and incised with floral forms. Each jug sits on a silver base, the silver likewise decorated with embossed foliate and floral motifs in the Rococo Revival style. The neck of each is mounted with silver, similarly decorated, the hinged lid opening to wide mouth, and an ornate, scrolled handle joined to the shoulder below. The glass is beautifully finished, and the silver throughout superbly formed. The silver is fully hallmarked for Charles Hack.
