Wild Boar Drinks Set with Boar’s Head Decanter, Stirrup Cups and Tray, c. 1960
About the Item
A magnificent and rare mid century wild boar-themed complete drinks set, comprising a boar’s head decanter with six matching stirrup cups and matching tray, made in Spain in c. 1960. The decanter and stirrup cups on their own are a rare find; to have this complete with the wild boar-themed tray is a luxury.
The decanter is of large size and satisfyingly heavy in the hand, and is mounted with a silver plated boar’s head in excellent original condition. The head opens for refilling the jug, and the hinge is both firm and solid. The handle terminates as a boar’s tail and is stamped ‘Valenti – Made in Spain’. The body is heavy blown glass with a ribbed swirling pattern. This is the original that inspired the Hog’s Head pitcher at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter film.
The silver plated stirrup cups all have boar’s head terminals and can be stood either way up. As a set they gather round the central boar like a sounder of boarlets. The extremely rare silver plated tray completes the wild boar theme, with finely modelled boars as handles and textured tree bark detailing around the rim.
The silver plating on the jug and stirrup cups is in excellent condition. The tray has some scratches that are hidden by the decanter and stirrup cups. One of the stirrup cups has a couple of tiny knocks commensurate with age, but aside from this the condition is magnificent. Together the set has a wonderful theatrical presence.
