Antique Victorian Sterling Silver Pilgrim Flask/Vase
About the Item
An exceptional, fine and impressive, large antique Victorian English sterling silver pilgrim flask/vase; an addition to our ornamental silverware collection.
This exceptional and large antique Victorian sterling silver pilgrim vase has a compressed oval flask form*.
The lower portion of the oval body is encompassed to the lower portion with alternating chased fluted and batwing decoration.
The large body is further embellished with impressive cast and applied bearded grotesque masks to either side, conjoined with the original silver carrying chain.
The swept neck of the vase is ornamented with a moulded girdle surmounting further chased fluted decoration.
The upper rim of the vase/flask is encircled with an applied moulded border.
This impressive flask is fitted with a hinged domed cover, surmounted with an impressive cast organic decorated finial.
This Victorian silver pilgrim flask / vase is supported by an oval domed foot accented with a further chased fluted decoration.
Such large and exceptional regimental examples are rare to the market; this pilgrim vase/flask was acquired from the Berwick regiment and Kings Own Scottish Border Museum.
A Victorian silver pilgrim flask is a distinguished collectable, reflecting historical craftsmanship. In pristine condition, it serves for ceremonial toasts at milestone events or as an authentic accessory for historical gatherings.
NOTE: * The pear-shaped form of the pilgrim flask (also known as a pilgrim vase and a pilgrim bottle) bears its roots from the leather flask carried by a pilgrim or traveller of the Middle Ages; depending on size, it would be used to carry water, wine or oil. Featuring a chain handle, it was designed for suspension from the shoulder, ensuring practicality and ease of transport.

By Frederick Elkington
Located in Jesmond, Newcastle Upon Tyne
A fine and impressive antique Victorian English sterling silver vase with military interest (Durham Light Infantry); an addition to our ornamental silverware collection.
This fine antique Victorian sterling silver vase has a tapering cylindrical form to a domed circular spreading foot.
The upper and lower portions of the body of the vase are embellished with embossed and chased stylized scrolling leaf and bead decoration in a swirl design.
The body is further ornamented with a band of six cartouches amidst a shaped border accented with a leaf motif between each; four of the cartouches remain vacant.
To one side there is a contemporary bright cut engraved crest of the Durham Light Infantry amidst the inscription ‘Presented to Officers, 3rd Bn, The Durham Light Infantry’, with the presentation inscription ‘Officers Race, won by, Lieut H J Sowerby, 1887’ to the other side.
The upper rim of this impressive vase is encircled with an applied moulded border to the rim.
The vase retains the original gilt interior.
In 1758 General John Lambton of County Durham first raised the 68th Regiment of Foot as part of the British Army. This later amalgamated with another regiment to become The Durham Light Infantry in 1881.
