£60.00Price

An elegant antique Victorian clear glass water jug dating from approximately 1880–1910, featuring finely wheel-engraved fern decoration.


The botanical engraving reflects the Victorian fascination with ferns known as Pteridomania, while the graceful baluster form, applied glass handle and gently flared pouring rim give the jug an attractive period character.


Hand-blown and finely engraved, this is a particularly decorative example of late Victorian table glass, equally suited to display or occasional use.
