About this piece
An unusual late Victorian silver plated iced water jug, dating to the Late 19th century, featuring an elegant tapering body with elongated fluted detailing, decorative borders and an ornate scrolling handle. Originally designed for serving chilled water, the jug features insulated sides to help maintain the temperature of its contents. The hinged domed lid (now unattached) is adorned with a charming polar bear finial, a distinctive detail associated with Victorian iced water vessels. Of particular interest is the inscription to the underside, recording Esther Cohen (1846–1881) and Nathan Cohen (1842–1910) of Tamworth, Australia, providing a fascinating connection to Australian social history. Displaying wear consistent with age and use, including tarnishing, areas of silver plate loss, a damaged lid hinge and a perforation to the body near the handle, all reflected in the price. Best suited to decorative display rather than functional use.
