Edwardian Cut-Glass Water Jug, Circa 1910
7403
A large and elegant Edwardian cut-glass water jug, dating to circa 1910. Generously proportioned and beautifully made, it is richly decorated with hand-cut facets that catch and refract the light, giving the glass a bright, sparkling presence on the table.
The jug's substantial body is balanced by a gracefully formed handle and a neatly shaped pouring lip, combining practical function with the refined decorative character typical of Edwardian table glass. Its crisp cutting provides texture and visual depth, while the clear glass allows its contents to become part of the display-equally appealing filled with water, summer drinks, or flowers.
At a time when a well-laid table was central to entertaining, a jug of this scale would have been an important and versatile part of a dining service. Today, it remains a handsome and useful piece, ideal for serving at lunch or dinner, as an elegant vase, or displayed within a collection of antique glass.
A refined example of early 20th-century English tableware, with the quality, weight, and luminous decoration that make cut glass so enduringly desirable.
