Silver beer jugs are some of the most attractive pieces to have been made in the 18th century. However, it is surprisingly hard to find one that hasn't been de-chased or hasn't had re-engraved armorials. These are usually coupled with a poor surface colour and patination. This jug, by contrast, has a superb surface and is in great condition. The original hammer marks are still clearly visible on the inside where the jug was raised up from a flat piece of silver. The engraved armorials are probably those of Cutler.
