About the Item
A superb vintage 20th Century zoomorphic solid silver and red hand blown glass walrus wine jug. This stunning piece seamlessly bolends the elegance of silver with the delicacy of glass, resulting in a wine jug that is both functional and visually captivating. Its body, crafted from red glass, provides a clear view of the wine within, enhancing the overall drinking experience.
The solid silver accents on the jug form the shape of a walrus, with meticulous attention to detail, including tusks that serve as handles and intricate facial features that capture the essence of this marine mammal. This jug not only serves as a unique and elegant vessel for serving wine but also stands as a remarkable example of how design and utility can come together to create an extraordinary piece of functional art that adds a touch of sophistication to any table setting.
