Garrard & Co., the Crown Jewelers, issued a superb collection of nine distinct silverware items to mark the Churchill Centenary. Each were a limited edition of only 100 copies. This is a wonderful collection; all nine of the items were designed by John Spencer Churchill (nephew of Sir Winston) and Alex Styles, Garrard’s senior designer.

The nine silverware items by Garrard, to mark Churchill’s Centenary are:

• silver claret jug with 6 goblets (featured here)
• silver punchbowl with ladle and eight cups
• pair of 10 inch salvers
• cigar humidor
• cigarette box
• pair of coasters
• bon-bon dish
• silver letter opener / paper knife with a Churchill medallion in the handle
• small silver statue (3.5″ high)

Here we have the claret jug with six goblets for sale.  The jug and goblets are made from solid silver and gilded on the inside; each of the goblets is finely engraved with a different design depicting major events that occurred during Churchill’s life.  The jug weighs 824gm and is 26.3cm in height and each of the goblets weigh 172gm and are 15cm high; each item has the Garrard’s stamp and appropriate hallmarking on the base.

This set of goblets and claret jug originally came in a presentation case; this set does not. The issue price of the claret jug and goblets in the presentation case was UK £985. Unfortunately, the presentation case for this set has not survived.
