Magnificent Whiskey Jug in Hawkes’ Brazilian – Sold

This is a stunning whiskey jug in Hawkes’ Brazilian pattern. What really make this piece a standout is the pattern-cut stopper and handle!

The Brazilian pattern is made up of diamond shaped blocks with a variety of motifs. Some of these include crosshatching, clear triangles, fan, and large exterior fans. Beautiful clear-button 8-point hobstars adorn the perimeter with crosshatching between each point. The base is finished in a large rayed star. The most magnificent portions of this piece are the stopper and handle. The stopper is fully cut in pattern and even features a brilliant hobstar on top. The handle is adorned with notching and a large row of 8-pointed hobstars!

The wood wheel polish makes the cutting especially brilliant and prismatic. The decanter measures 9″ tall and 4 3/4″ tall.
