About the Item
Antique late 19th century Japanese Meiji period solid silver wine jug, simply exceptional and magnificent quality, The lidded wine jug is of classical shape, mounted with a finely decorated finial and unusual scroll handle and applied with a pierced collar depicting flying birds amongst flowers, standing on a domed foot chased with acanthus leaves. Signed with Japanese characters and makers mark M.S (The Musashiya Company, created by Ozeki Yahei and under the aegis of his son Sadajiro, became perhaps the most successful of the concerns selling high-quality decorative art during the Meiji period. Sadajiro’s openness to collaborate with enterprises such as Liberty of London enthused him to work with some of the finest Japanese artists and artisans.
Many of these items happened to be spoons, but spoons that were each a work of art. Some he marked Musashiya, while others he decided to mark with the initials “S.M.”, the latter created out of Sadajiro and Musashiya. Many of these spoons were actually creations of some of Japan’s most-notable artisans exclusively at the Musashiya workshops, for more information please read Chinese export silver: The Yokohama Conundrum, by Adrien Von Ferscht).

18th Century Wine Jug George III England 1kg Sterling Silver Peter & Ann Bateman
This impressive wine jug, made in 1795 during the reign of King George III, is an artistic example of the work of the renowned silversmiths Peter and Ann Bateman. The jug rests on a curved base with an elegant fluted profile on the rim and is decorated with a surrounding frieze of leaf motifs in fine ‘bright-cut’ engraving.
The indented stem and the amphora-shaped body with vertically curved walls give the jug a classic look. The curved mouth rim with beak-shaped spout ensures harmonious lines, while the hinged lid is domed in the centre and crowned by a spherical knob. The curved wooden C-handle stylishly rounds off the design and provides a comfortable grip.
The wide frieze with leaf and flower motifs on the wall, executed in extremely fine ‘bright-cut’ engraving, is particularly noteworthy. The front of the jug is also engraved with initials, giving the piece a personal touch.
The wine jug bears a full set of London silver stamps on the underside, which prove its authenticity and the year of manufacture. Works by Peter and Ann Bateman are recognised for their high quality craftsmanship and can be found in major collections worldwide. This exceptional sterling silver example combines elegance and the finest engraving skills and is a valuable collector's item of late 18th century English silver...
