A London Britannia standard silver vase, dated 1890, the design taken from a rare leather bottle (“black jack”) from the 18th century.
Marked George Gilliam, over stamping actual maker Edwin Charles Purdie. The avant garde appearance of this bottle may be deliberate, but is more likely to be a chance consequence of the design.
Intriguingly the 18th century leather bottle on which the design is based is recorded in a 1920’s book on Black Jacks that was written by Oliver Baker – one of Liberty’s early designers for the Cymric silver range and whose work is featured significantly in the Collection.
