Art Deco Sterling Silver Whisky Hip Flask, 150 Ml, Chester 1927

Art Deco Sterling Silver Hip Flask, Robert Pringle & Sons, Chester 1927

This handsome Art Deco sterling silver whisky hip flask was crafted by the renowned Robert Pringle & Sons and assayed at the Chester office in 1927, a significant centre of English provincial silver production. The flask features a classic square design with a slightly curved body and rounded edges, perfectly combining style and practicality.

Executed in fine sterling silver, the flask has a beautifully smooth polished surface. The wide, curved form was designed for comfortable carrying in a jacket or vest pocket, while the sturdy hinged bayonet cap screws tightly to prevent spillage — ideal for discreetly carrying whisky, brandy, or other spirits while travelling, shooting, or attending sporting events.

Handmade using traditional silversmith techniques, the flask is robust and functional yet displays the refined elegance characteristic of the Art Deco period. Its clean lines, squared body, and minimalist silhouette reflect the modernist aesthetic that defined 1920s design.

This collectible sterling silver hip flask is a classic piece of gentleman’s accessories and would be a fine addition to any collection of Art Deco silver, barware, or vintage sporting memorabilia. Its historic craftsmanship and timeless form make it equally suitable for display or continued use. It has a generous capacity of 150 ml / 5 oz, making it practical for use as well as highly decorative
