A Victorian silver claret jug, modelled in the form of a Greek askos, the rim applied with two recumbent goats flanking a leaf-capped scroll handle above an applied cherub, the body with a matt finish, the handle inscribed `Willm Henry Wills from Charles Dickens`, London 1859 by John Samuel Hunt, the foot inscribed `Hunt & Roskell Late Storr & Mortimer 218`, height approx 21.5cm. Note: William Henry Wills and Charles Dickens began their long association in 1846, when Wills became sub-editor to Dickens on Daily News. Wills went on to become one of Dickens` closest friends in later life. Provenance: this jug is the subject of a letter from Dickens to Wills, dated 5th April 1862: "My Dear Wills: A little packet will come to you to-day from Hunt and Roskell`s: almost at the same time, I think, as this note. The packet will contain a Claret Jug. I hope it is a pretty thing in itself for your table, and I know that you and Mrs. Wills will like it none the worse because it comes from me. It is not made of perishable material, and is so far expressive of our friendship. I have had your name and mine set upon it, in token of our many years of mutual reliance and trustfulness. It will never be so full of wine, as it is to-day of affectionate regard. Ever faithfully yours, Charles Dickens." Reference: Lehmann, R.C. (editor). Charles Dickens as Editor, being letters written by him to William Henry Wills, his sub-editor. London: 1912. (pp.307 and 308). Editor`s footnote (p.308) by Lehmann (great-nephew to Wills): "This claret jug, fashioned in silver after the model of an Etruscan jug, is now in my possession, having been bequeathed to me by Mrs. Wills." A copy of this book is included in the lot.
