A vintage and fine quality cut glass and solid silver claret jug by stellar makers Asprey & Co and fully hallmarked for London 1981.

Comes with interesting provenance as it is engraved to one side HEATHORN STAKES NEWMARKET 1983.  The Heathorn stakes, now known as Newmarket stakes was won by Walter Swinburn in 1983 riding Shearwalk and this claret jug would likely have been presented to him as the winning jockey.

Offered in good condition and stands 30cms and measures 14cms in diameter at the base.
