WHY WE LOVE THIS
This striking pewter jigger goblet features a finely cast fox head finial, mounted atop a traditional stirrup-form cup—an unmistakable nod to classic hunting and sporting traditions. Both functional and sculptural, the piece balances masculine elegance with timeless form, making it as suitable for barware use as it is for display.

The goblet is engraved “H.V.D” and dated “11-15-69,” adding a layer of personal history and intrigue—suggestive of a commemorative gift or milestone moment. Whether used for cocktails or styled as a decorative accent, it carries the quiet authority of well-made sporting metalware.

STYLING SUGGESTION
Style on a bar cart alongside cut crystal, leather-bound books, and a decanter for a refined Ralph Lauren–inspired vignette. Equally handsome displayed in a study, game room, or library shelf layered with fox hunting prints and warm wood tones.
