Large format cooling jug made of cut crystal and silver-plated mount from the early 20th century. This piece stands out for its remarkable weight of 4 kg and its original internal cooling system.
History: In the early 20th century, jugs with ice compartments were essential elements in the table service of European high society. They allowed white wines, liqueurs, or water to be chilled without the melting ice altering the composition of the drink. The design combines the tradition of hand-cut crystal with the functionality of Edwardian era metalwork.
