ANTIQUE SILVER BEER JUGS
The silver beer jug became a popular household item during the early 18th Century, with the desirable, baluster shaped, ‘Sparrow Beak’ style first seen around 1720, a form which is still as popular today. During the Regency and Victorian periods, more elaborate examples were produced, and in the 20th Century Art Deco, Arts & Crafts and Modernist designs have been made. Beer is as popular today in England as it has always been, and a silver beer jug makes an ideal addition for any ale drinker.
