Charming 1847 Victorian Sterling Silver Child’s Mug by J.C. Edington
About the Item
Delightfully ornate and steeped in Victorian charm, this sterling silver child’s mug was hallmarked in London in 1847 by renowned silversmith J.C. Edington. A superb example of 19th-century English silver, the mug features highly detailed repoussé decoration, including a playful spaniel resting on a cushion, surrounded by intricate floral motifs and a perched bird—all masterfully rendered with depth and texture.
The elegant scroll handle and shaped footed base enhance the piece's graceful silhouette, while the interior is richly gilded, providing a warm contrast and a touch of luxury. This exceptional mug would have originally been given as a christening or birthday gift, and it remains a treasured collectible for those who appreciate fine Victorian silver and antique childhood keepsakes.
Perfect for display in a nursery, as part of a silver collection, or as a unique heirloom gift, this mug is not only a piece of history but also a showcase of Edington’s artistry. It is an excellent example of how ornamental design and practical form were seamlessly combined in the decorative arts of the period.
An ideal acquisition for collectors, stylists, or anyone drawn to timeless English silver.
The christening mug measures 4.5"(11.5cm) tall, by 4.25"(11cm) from handle to side, by 3"(8cm) deep, and weighs 6.42 troy ounces.
