Sterling Silver Combination Cream and Milk Jug - Antique Victorian

This exceptional and rare antique Victorian sterling silver combination cream and milk jug has a circular rounded form onto a collet foot.

The segmented body of this silver cream jug is plain and unembellished with an applied moulded rim; this moulded rim continues across the lip of both spouts.

The upper portion of the silver jug features a silver plateau embellished with the elucidating engraving 'MILK' and 'CREAM'.

This fine example of Victorian silverware is fitted with two scrolling handles, conjoined with a plain pale across the upper plateau.

The interior of the jug retains the original gilding.

Such examples of versatile teaware are rare to the market.

This antique cream and milk jug is a superior gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.

Full hallmarks struck to the surface of the body are all very clear.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this example of Victorian silver.
