Beaker - Collapsible - London 1881 by Edward Brown - 6.7cm high (1.8cm high when collapsed); 6.1cm maximum diameter; 76g - WS/1460

Sorry, this item is out of stock.

This is a scarce example of Victorian beaker that can be extended for use or collapsed for carriage. Each piece is clearly hallmarked and upper most section also bears an engraved crest. To add an extra bit of class; the interior is gilded.

 

N.B. This type of beaker are rarely completely leak free. This one feels tight and secure when extended (no danger of collapsing mid-drink!). however it needs to be pulled out completely and the each section turned little by little to eliminate most drips. It ought to be considered a fun item rather than a 100% leak-free.
