Then an engraver picked up a wheel and spent considerable time cutting this extraordinary heraldic composition into the surface — a full coat of arms cartouche surrounded by rococo acanthus scrollwork, flanked by rampant lions and trailing foliate motifs, with a delicate diamond-lattice diaper pattern filling the centre shield. Six matching tumblers received the same treatment. Probably not in one afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a complete \u003cstrong\u003eengraved crystal water jug and six tumbler set\u003c\/strong\u003e, circa 1900 — the kind of thing that graced a proper dining table in the Edwardian era and has somehow survived intact ever since. The jug has a substantial loop handle with a characteristic thumb-rest, a wide pouring spout, and a gently waisted body that sits confidently on its thick disc base. Two fine gold bands ring the base. The tumblers are straight-sided and solid, each bearing the same heraldic engraving, and they stack beautifully into a set that looks like it means business.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe engraving quality is exceptional — fine, precise wheelwork with no shortcuts. The heraldic cartouche wraps fully around the body of the jug, and the scrollwork continues across the lower section. Each tumbler carries a complete repeat of the central armorial motif. This is not decorative glass. This is \u003cem\u003eserious\u003c\/em\u003e glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAntique engraved crystal, European, c.1900\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete set: one large jug + six matching tumblers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeraldic engraving: coat of arms cartouche, rampant lions, acanthus scrollwork, diamond lattice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJug: loop handle with thumb rest, wide pouring spout, gold ring base detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJug dimensions: 18 x 14 x 16 cm | Weight: 662 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTumbler dimensions: 9.5 x 5.5 cm | Weight: approx. 80 grams each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: excellent antique condition, complete set of 7 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWARNING:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serving water from this jug at a dinner party will make your guests feel inexplicably underdressed.
