Hallmarked in London in 1887 by W. & C. Sissons, this stunning, Victorian, Antique Sterling Silver Claret Jug, is realistically modelled to look like a Cantaloupe melon, with the glass presumably by Thomas Webb & Son's Ltd. The claret jug measures 8"(20.5cm) tall, by 5.75"(14.5cm) from handle to side, by 5.25"(13.5cm) deep. A Cantaloupe glass example can be found in The Kent Collection, number 913.

Hallmarked in London in 1887 by R. & S. Garrard, this stunning pair of Victorian, Antique Sterling Silver Wine Coolers, are in the naturalistic taste, with the bases and rims designed to look like coral, and the handles made as oak leaves and branches. Each wine cooler measures 12"(30cm) tall, by 10.5"(27cm) in diameter, and together they weigh a very impressive 255.8 troy ounces.
