This tall, elegant piece features a tapered crystal body richly decorated with traditional geometric cutting, including brilliant starbursts, diamond cross-hatching, fans and elongated leaf-like cuts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe underside is finished with a large radial starburst, while the matching removable crystal stopper is itself deeply cut with geometric and star motifs. A silver-plated metal collar incorporates a graceful pouring spout and an exceptionally long curved scroll handle, giving the jug its distinctive silhouette.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe combination of brilliant cut crystal, elongated conical form and metal-mounted pouring hardware is characteristic of quality late-Victorian and Edwardian table glass.
