Antique Claret Jugs
Claret jugs began to be made in the 1830s, but before then, there were jugs for wine, so the term claret jug can be a little confusing.
During the 19th century fine claret jugs were made of glass with silver, or plated mounts. The best had silver-gilt mounts, and from about 1860 they became an art form in themselves. Some in the 1880s and '90s were zoomorphic - made as ducks, crocodiles, parrots or walruses.
Many wine jugs were simple and made of glass throughout. Frequently the glass was coloured, and while the red ones were almost certainly intended for red wine, the green, blue, amber and turquoise ones were probably intended for white wine.
