Silver Plated Lidded best Jug - Antique

This beautiful jug was made by Thomas Latham and Ernest Morton - Silversmiths operating in Birmingham in the late 1800s and early 1900s. An elegant scroll pattern adorns the bottom half and the lid. The finial on the lid is an ivory coloured material - possibly bone? It's marked as A1 electroplate.

A beautiful piece with plenty of patina, which is highly decorative or could be used for watering house plants, or as a vase. We love it.

"Have nothing in your houses you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful"

William Morris


At Know to be Beautiful, we believe that beautiful things warm the heart and make a house a home. And the world is full of beautiful things!

Over the decades artists and craftsmen have used our limited natural resources to make wonderful items. Once something has been loved and used it often makes it more beautiful, so, rather than always making new things, we like finding a new home for something that has already been made.

We aim for elegant packaging, to make classy gifts, but we try not to go over the top with plush boxes that are too good to throw away, but of no actual use!
