An extraordinary Victorian Silver-Mounted Green or Amber Glass Claret-Jug in the Form of a Squirrel is one of the rarest lots coming up in the Jewellery, Watches and Silver Sale this May. This charming piece was made in 1882 by Alexander Crichton, a Scottish silversmith who found fame creating whimsical novelty silver-mounted claret-jugs and scent-bottles in forms such as dodo, a walrus, and a crocodile. Also noteworthy amongst the silver in the sale is a George V Silver Copy of the Warwick Vase on a Silver-Mounted Ebonised Wood Plinth. The Warwick Vase, now in the Burrell Collection, Glasgow, was discovered in the late 18th century by Scottish art dealer Gavin Hamilton at Hadrian's Villa in Rome and in the decades since it was discovered it was to prove a popular form for silversmiths to copy.
The Jewellery section of the sale offers interesting pieces with coloured stones, a good range of pieces by Scandinavian designers such as Georg Jensen and Lapponia as well as period jewellery. Watches, too, offers a broad spectrum of vintage, collectable and luxury watches, including an unusual and large Silver "Patentee" Alarm Watch made by Viner in London in 1819, and a 1920s National Watch Co. 18 Carat Gold Single Push Chronograph Wristwatch.
