* Purse. An embroidered lute-shaped purse (or sweete bag?), early 18th century, purse in the shape of a powder flask, padded (probably with horse hair) and embroidered with coloured and metallised threads, using mainly long and short stitch and stem stitch, and incorporating two small beads (remaining few missing), with flowers tied in a bow and stems of daffodils, carnation, and tulip above, on a beige grosgrain ground, faded and dusty, backed with green silk, and with a pouch of the same sewn to the back, gathered with drawstring ribbon of woven cream, green, and metallised silver threads (a little frayed to one side), the two ends of the ribbon caught together in a metal thread toggle, purse edged with woven metallic braid, 9.5 x 6 cm (3.75 x 2.25 ins)QTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance: Lady Ottoline Morrell (1873-1938); thence by descent.A most unusual early purse; we have not been able to trace another the same either at auction or in an institution. The British Museum has a purse not wholly dissimilar, made of velvet and purporting to have been given by King Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn (registration number 1878,1101.635): 'Curator's comments - This is an unusual construction and its purpose is not clear'. The Rijksmuseum, Netherlands, also has a padded shaped purse of velvet (more akin to the British Museum's than that offered here), which they call 'in the shape of scissors (phallus?)' - object number BK-KOG-29.Although these two examples are referred to as purses, it seems more likely, given the contruction, that our receptacle was intended to be filled with sweet-smelling herbs such as lavender, so that a lady could wear it around her neck to ward off infection and unpleasant odours, much like the more commonly found sweete bags of the 16th and 17th centuries. The delicate silk could only have been used to hold something light, and the narrow opening at the top would have been enough for a lady's nose to imbibe the sweet scent within, rather like a perfume bottle.
* Moon Flask. An English Aesthetic period porcelain moon flask, circa 1870, the blue ground flask with one side with a circular panel painted with two robins, one perched on a branch the other in a nest, within a faux opal jewelled border, the opposite side gilt painted decoration showing a butterfly amongst foliage, the flared neck with two ornate handles in cream and gold, on four ball feet, the base numbered in purple '1072', no other marks but probably Royal Worcester, 20.5 cm high QTY: (1)
MACALLAN X URWERK FLASK 2 HIP-FLASK Known for their eye-catching watches with equally eye-catching price tags, Urwerk and Macallan seem like a match made in luxury heaven. Following on from Macallan’s previous hip-flask collaboration with sunglasses manufacturer, Oakley, the Urwerk flask is constructed to the same high quality, but the features have been dialled up to eleven.Constructed from more than 150 parts, and finished in stylish brushed aluminium, the Urwerk flask houses two separate whisky reservoirs with a mechanism that lets you easily swap between them without risking any cross contamination. To help you remember which of your precious Macallan whiskies you have contained in each tank there are a set of four rotary dials concealed in the base of the flask which can be set to indicate the age of the whiskies, as well as the type of cask each has been matured in. And, for display purposes a built-in stand can be deployed at the push of a button.
