1884 ENGLISH STERLING SILVER & RUBY RED GLASS CLARET JUG, WITH ARMORIAL DECORATION OF THE ORDER OF THE GOLDEN FLEECE (TOISÓN DE ORO)

Description:
Gorgeous ruby red glass and sterling silver English claret jug. With an ovoid shape, and a very elegant design for its sterling silver fittings, this decanter presents the interesting feature of its double lid, and the beautiful armorial decoration, which is of Spanish ascent, and it includes the very exclusive Toisón de Oro (Order of the Golden Fleece, founded in 1430). In Spanish heraldic symbology, that type of crown belongs to a duke.
It is outstanding in the modernity of its design, being a forerunner of the later Sezessionstil and even Art Déco.
