Charles & George Asprey Sterling Silver & Cut Glass Locking Hip Flask C. 1897

About the Item

This exceptional Sterling Silver & Cut Glass Locking Hip Flask, crafted by the renowned London silversmiths Charles & George Asprey circa 1897, represents a stunning fusion of luxury, artistry, and practicality. As a highly distinguished firm known for producing fine silverware and exquisite objects during the late 19th century, Asprey's signature craftsmanship is evident throughout this remarkable piece. The flask is made from sterling silver, bearing the hallmark of Charles & George Asprey along with the London assay office mark, confirming its authenticity and exceptional quality. The silver casing of the flask is finely detailed, its sleek contours perfectly complemented by the intricately cut glass that forms its body. The glass features elaborate decorative cuts, likely incorporating both geometric patterns and intricate floral or fluted motifs, showcasing the finest Victorian glass-cutting techniques. One of the standout features of this flask is its locking mechanism, a practical and sophisticated addition that ensures the contents remain securely sealed. The locking mechanism is elegantly designed, with a smooth-opening cap, further accentuating the fine craftsmanship of the piece. The silver cap and collar offer easy access to the flask’s contents while maintaining an air of refinement and discretion. With its ergonomic design, the flask is compact and portable, fitting comfortably in the pocket or as part of a gentleman’s ensemble. It reflects the Victorian penchant for both function and elegance, making it not only a practical item for personal use but also a piece of luxury that could be displayed as part of one’s collection of fine accessories. The combination of cut glass and sterling silver not only imparts a sense of sophistication and refinement but also elevates this flask to the status of a fine, collectible object. The flask was likely commissioned for a discerning clientele, who valued both the beauty and practicality of such a piece. As a creation of Charles & George Asprey, a name synonymous with elite craftsmanship, it is a significant example of their legacy.
