A Really Fabulous Antique Victorian Mappin & Webb Silver Plated Cut Glass Lemonade Jug fitted with a hinged lid and pouring spout. The body is formed in heavy cut glass with an all-over diamond and crosshatch pattern for strong sparkle and grip. The inside of the hinged lid is stamped “Mappin & Webb’s Princes Plate London & Sheffield”.
An internal glass ice tube insert is included, intended to hold ice so lemonade can be chilled without dilution. The ice tube retains its matching silver plated collar and pull off lid, allowing it to be removed for cleaning and re-fitted for service – circa 1880
* This is an ideal piece for summer entertaining, working equally well for lemonade, iced water, or fruit cordials.
Measurements:
Height: 9 1/2" (approx. 24cm)
Width handle to spout: 7" (approx. 18cm)
Diameter of base: 5 1/2" (approx. 14cm)
Total weight: 2148g
In good condition – The jug presents well overall, with crisp cut glass and an attractive, balanced silhouette. There is only light surface wear to the silver plate, consistent with normal use. The ice tube is original and fits snuggly. There are no chips or cracks to the glass.
