Antique Hip Flask with Inbuilt Cup
Antique Hip Flask with Inbuilt Cup
This is a beautiful classic design hip flask likely to date to the Victorian era. It has a nice glass body which is protected by leather to the top with a little view point in the material. To the base is a nice metal piece which is likely to be silver plated and this pulls off nicely to be used as a cup. The lid is also possibly silver plate and unscrews nicely with a loose little cork seal as shown. The age is evident with the quality and weight. There are marks as shown on the plate and the glass is in very good condition with minor nibbles to the pouring lip.
It measures 3.4 inches high and is a very fine piece.
As a vintage or antique item, it will show signs of wear and patina.
Please look at the photos carefully and please do ask any questions, I am happy to help.
