Additional Information : The first Nailsea silver capped flask we have featured on our website. Typically these flasks are not stable enough to stand upright and have at best a cork stopper. This however “breaks the mould” . it is a  stable display piece ans would be a joy to use.

The lid acid tests positive for silver but is not hallmarked.
