About the Item

We are delighted to offer this magnificently decorated antique solid silver Victorian milk pitcher made in London, 1863 with marks for Henry Wilkinson. This pitcher features a most wonderful three-dimensional design with high embossing. The entire body is sculpted with beautiful proportions and its surface is deeply hand-chased with floral, foliate and bird motifs. The applied cast handle is equally attractive with a lovely curvature terminating with further foliate chased decorations which seamlessly blends in with the rest of the design. What is particularly impressive with this pitcher is the level of detailing and depth of its decoration with a very crisp, high relief and an immaculately stippled background throughout that creates a beautiful contrast - a true testament to its quality and the time that has gone into crafting a single milk pitcher. Its interior gilding (gold on top of solid silver), not only presents a contrasting tone but also prevents the liquid held within from reacting/oxidising with the silver. Overall, an exquisite example of finely decorated Victorian silverware in a modest form factor, ideal for practical usage or for decorating an interior to elevate its splendour. A full set of English hallmarks are present on the side of the pitcher. *Please note: all images with other items are for display purposes only, this listing is for the item mentioned in the title.
