614	A victorian silver mounted Claret Jug by William & George Sissons, Sheffield, 1899. Although the silver neck mount is plain, the rarity in this jug lies in the glass. The esthetic decoration was inspired from Japanese art 1870-1900. The asymmetrical designs, copper wheel engraved, incorporate nature and flora as well as geometrical designs. This jug was exhibited at the Barbican Art Gallery Museum in London and then at the Setagaya Art Museum in Tokyo as part of the Japanese and British Exhibition. Very few esthetic decorated claret jugs seem to have survived. Ht: 10 3/4".

715	Silver mounted crystal designed for Tiffany & Co., by George Farnham, America, 1904. The overall shape, the silver mounts and the designs carved into the crystal are inspired from the Renaissance, an influence that Farnham kept returning to throughout his career. Only lead oxide from the Harz Mountains in Germany and silica found in the forests of Fontainebleu, France, were considered of sufficient purity for these objects. The resulting glass was whiter in color and more brillant than domestic lead glass. Though the Jug was published in 1906 in "Studio International", a contemporary art design magazine of the period, the pattern number stamped on the inside rim, 16191-1780 dates the piece between January 1, 1904 and December 31, 1904. Ht. 11 1/2".
718	Pair of French silver mounted cobalt blue Claret Jugs by A & L, Paris, Circa 1880. Ht. 13 1/2".

831	Silver mounted ceramic Claret Jug by The Duchess of Sutherland's Cripples Guild, Birmingham, 1907. The ceramic body is by the eminent ceramicist Bernard Moore (1850 - 1935) and is considered in many ways to be a superior example to any of the pieces he gave and/or left to the British Museum. In one single piece, it manages to incorporate two things he spent much of his life striving to perfect - the Oriental rich red Sang de Boeuf glaze and a deep, almost cobalt blue glow 'cracked ice' glaze. The silver mounts are by Francis Arthur Edwards who worked with Bernard Moore at the Guild. Ht. 12-3/4".

860	French silver gilt mounted Claret Jug with floral motif, signed by Daum, Marker's mark IP, France, Circa 1895. The triple layer of cameo glass, white, green and red is most unusual, as most surviving examples seem to have only two colors which are then edged with applied gilt decoration. Ht. 12 1/4".

The large detachable vine leaf centered on the shoulder below the spout is pierced with the word "Claret" and as a separate piece is fully hallmarked.

866	Victorian silver gilt and glass Claret Jug by William and George Sissons, Sheffield, 1869. The copper wheel engraving is almost certainly by a Bohemian engraver named Schiller who worked for Stevens and Williams between 1860 and 1876. The finial of the jug is the family crest which is repeated by engraving on the glass below which are the original owner's initials, all within the pointed oval cartouche on the side of the glass.

870	A silver mounted pale ruby glass Claret Jug by Reilly & Storer, London, 1840. The pale ruby glass is encased in a naturalistic design of cast and chased fruiting vines. This style was popular from about 1830 onwards and was the artistic 'antidote' to the more formal and rigid "Pompeian grandeur" of the Neoclassical Revival period that preceded it. It was also remarkably suited to decorating Claret Jugs. Ht. 11 3/4".
871	A William IV silver gilt and frosted glass Askos-form ewer by Paul Storr, London, 1836.

It is contained in its original leather case stamped with the retailer's mark of Clark, 20 Old Bond Street. The lid of the Jug is also encraved with the retailer's mark and the address.

Francis Lakin was present on a panel of physicians when Edward VII underwent an operation for appendicitis, then a very new surgical intervention. The jug was later handed down through the Lakin family to his Granddaughter, who in 1940 bequeathed it to her friend, Mrs. Zoe Taylor, who was a very close friend of General Smuts. Mrs. Taylor presented the decanter to the General Smuts War Veterans Foundation suggesting that it be sold for the funds being collected to purchase and restore the big house at Doornkloof, Irene.

892	An exhibition silver-gilt, enamel, and jewel-mounted glass jug, Gorham Mfg. Co., Providence, R.I., 1893, of baluster form, the domed foot with strapwork, Dolphin's heads, and enamelled wings. The oval body glass overlaid with strapwork and gem-set, enclosing two large enamel plaques of "Venus and the Sleeping Adonis" and "The Birth of Venus" and a small enamel plaque with two mermaids, the neck and spout with strapwork and floral motifs against blue, red and white enamelled grounds, gem set, the gem-set double scroll handle in the form of a bird with enamelled body and wings, numbered and marked on Base 4854 in an oval and date mark for 1893. Ht: 16 1/4". According to Samuel J. Hough, this jug was one of the centerpieces of Gorham's display at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Made specifically for the Fair, it was finished June 1, 1893. The piece required 125 hours of fabrication and 300 hours of chasing. The piece was then sent to New York for setting the stones and enameling. The enamel, both the decorative grounds and the Venus panels, was executed by the Hungarian artist, G. DeFestetics, who spent over 378 hours at a cost of $350.00. Many of Gorham's offerings in 1893 were designed by William C. Codman, such as the Nautilus centerpiece. Although Codman's name cannot be tied directly to this jug, its feel is similar to the Designer's work at this period. Gorham's enamel work was a success at the 1893 Exposition, and the company received seven awards for this technique alone. A pamphlet published by the Firm in 1894 about its display records that "it is scarcely a year since the Gorham Company commenced the production of translucent enamels, yet this work is of such a high order that one of the German Commissioners at the Fair has purchased a specimen of it...to be placed in the Royal Kunstgewerbe Museum of Berlin." Gorham's records reveal that the Company was prepared to take only $44.00 profit on this piece which had cost $800.00 to manufacture for exhibition purposes, immediate financial gain was secondary to art and recognition.
