An unusual English silverplate wine pourer attributed to Elkington's celebrated Sphinx design. The sculptural frame cradles a wine bottle for elegant tableside pouring, while the sphinx figure cleverly conceals a match striker on the front, a charming nod to an era when candles and after-dinner cigarettes were common at the table. Equal parts conversation piece and functional bar accessory, it makes a striking addition to any bar or wine collection. Unmarked.
