A pocket sized sterling silver drinking flask with removable drinking cup. This is a stunning piece, very simple in design, high in quality and unique in design. This flask is very unusual due to the overall shape pf the body. In all the years of buying drinking flasks we have never had the pleasure to find a flask such as this. The flask is very simple in design, and has an easy to use functionality. Once removing the top third of the flask, a mouth with screw down removable lid is exposed, with cork liner to prevent any leakage. All original, all hallmarked and in superb condition. The flask has a soft oval curved shape to it which was designed to make it comfortable in a pocket and in the hand. The thick gauge flask splits in two for a removable drinking cup that slides off the body. This cup also will allow for the potential to share with a friend what ever is added into the body of the flask! The flask is in superb condition throughout. Made in London, England, by one of the leading English Silversmith's of the 19th & 20th Century; Thomas Johnson I, in 1871 with the beautiful queen's head marking alongside the year letter, putting production slap bang in the middle of the Victorian Age! If the flask could talk, the stories would be fascinating! Thomas Johnson, a multi generational English silversmith renowned for fabulous articles of silver. As silver flasks go, albeit not a ighly decorated piece, or overly ornamental, the shape is by far the most unique and captivating of flasks we may have ever handled. A stunning piece of Victorian design.
