This charming jug is in very good condition. Excellent colour. Good clear English silver hallmarks, no date letter. The base of the handle is slightly pushed in on the inside (see photo). This little jug has a smooth surface and the colour is the original silver colour all over - the effects in the photo are due to the bulbous shape which causes extreme reflection. Please note that this item is not new and will show moderate signs of wear commensurate with age. Reflections in the photograph may detract from the true representation of this item.
