I recently purchased a claret jug made of glass with a gorgeous pattern consisting of flowers and leaf swirls, with a twisted bottom and applied handle. The spout is silver with the following hallmarks: The initials W.C in a sideways oval. Next is a full lion, facing left with raised paw. Next appears to be an empty shield. Next is the number 1. I have researched, but cannot find this hallmark, and was hoping someone could help. Thank you in advance for your consideration. IP: Logged |

It appear that your item was made in 1906 in London, England. My schedule is such that I won't have the time to look up the "W. C" mark right now. Maybe someone else will be able to look it up. I should have some more time next week. IP: Logged |

WC is the maker's mark of William Comyns & Sons, a very well-known and prolific English maker since the middle of the 19th century. They had quite a large factory and in fact were in business in England until fairly recently. You usually only see their mark on good quality items, and this claret jug looks beautiful! IP: Logged |

My most sincere thanks to both of you for sharing your knowledge. This is a wonderful service and is most appreciated. I shall also recommend this site to my fellow dealers and customers who are silver lovers, as am I. I shall now attempt to find a book value on this piece...I am confident that it is worth more than the $10.00 I paid for it at a yard sale...LOL! Thanks again for your expertise. Vivian IP: Logged |
