Victorian Silver & Glass Hip Flask, Rattan Grip by Henry William Dee London 1869.
It looks to me that there is a female Moors head engraved on the flask. I think it is being used as part of an armorial device. There are stylized initials engraved on the cap. I have three main questions.
Do you think it is a Moors head?
Can anyone decipher the initials and are there any ideas about rho the flask mY have been made for?
Do you think it is unique? No one I have talked to has ever seen a Moors head etched into a Sterling Victorian flask?
