Elegant antique wine jug from the Arts & Crafts period with a hand-blown glass body, finely and deeply engraved with sprays of perhaps dandelions or dahlias accompanied by ferns. The jug is fitted with a silver collar, spout and hinged cover as well as an elegant trailing silver handle.
The Arts & Crafts movement emerged from a disenchantment with the impersonal, mechanised direction of society in the 19th century, and sought to return to a simpler, more fulfilling way of living. The movement was admired for its use of high quality materials and for its emphasis on utility in design.
