Antique Arts and Crafts Benson Copper Insulated Jug with Stamped British Made

This unique item is the Patent Jacket Water Vessel c 1880 - 1920.  There is an air gap between the inner and outer layers which allows for the insulation of water or rum.  Benson was closely associated with William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement.
 
Condition: Good antique condition with some wear commensurate with age and use, it has a couple of dents and scuff marks from age and use.  It comes highly polished which enhances the handcrafted features made from copper and brass.  On the bottom of the jug, there is stamped the makers mark : Benson - British Made.

Footnote : 
Antique or vintage items have been used and as most antique dealers would say "PRE-LOVED", they will show signs of wear that is commensurate with age.  Now this will appeal to some as it authenticates its age.  
To the best of my ability, I will always list all faults found with each object, and photos form part of the illustrative narrative.
All vintage used items are sold "as is". Please ask questions before you make your purchase, I am always happy to answer and send additional photos if required.
