The piece features a sterling bayonet‑mount top with a gilt interior and a repoussé sterling silver drinking cup that fits securely to the base of the flask. When the cup is removed, the flask stands elegantly on its own. The glass body is crisply cut with classic period detailing, and the silver retains its original, untouched patina. The sterling hallmarks appear on the interior hinge of the bayonet top and on the side of the cup, as shown.
Dimensions: 4.75" H × 3" W × 1" D. Very good antique condition. Minor dings to the top and bottom of the cup, and light tarnish consistent with age; the silver has not been polished and can be brightened if desired. A sophisticated addition to a home bar, vanity, or collector’s cabinet, and an excellent example of Unger Brothers’ sought‑after silverwork. See less
