A French 19th century silver lady's repoussé oval muff hip flask with twist lock lid circa 1880.
Muff hip flasks were small, discreet containers designed to hold liquor and were often concealed within a muff-a hand warmer popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. Typically used by women, these flasks allowed for the discreet consumption of alcohol in social settings where it was less acceptable for ladies to drink openly.
Made from metal, glass, or leather, muff hip flasks combined practicality with subtle elegance, reflecting both the social norms and the craftsmanship of the time.
