AN ELEGANT VICTORIAN CLARET JUG

A beautifully proportioned Victorian cut glass claret jug of refined simplicity and fluid grace. The slender baluster form, slice cut body flows seamlessly from the fluted, star-cut base to the elegantly waisted neck, where a crisply scalloped rim opens like the petals of a flower. The finely applied loop handle, with its sweeping curve, balances the jug's vertical elegance with sculptural poise. The whole is crowned by a finely cut teardrop stopper that echoes the rhythm of the design below.
