Victorian Pewter Cream Jug – Engraved Floral, c.1890

This charming small cream jug dates to the late Victorian era, around 1890, and is made from traditional pewter, a soft, silvery-grey metal widely used in everyday homes at the time.

The jug features hand-engraved floral decoration, a gracefully curved handle, and three small cast feet which lift it slightly from the table. Pewter pieces like this were practical household items, commonly used for milk, cream, or sauces, and valued for their durability and understated beauty.

Today, it makes a lovely decorative accent — perfect for styling shelves, trays, or bedside tables — or as a thoughtful antique gift.
