Silver Mounted Calabash Gourd
Silver Mounted and Painted Gourd Calabash
London 1870
Maker's/Sponsor's mark rubbed but probably Henry Perkins And Sons
The calabash gourd is an extremely vigorous climbing vine growing in warm climates. The fruits are picked when immature and cooked like squashes. The mature fruit forms a hard wooden shell and can be used as a drinking gourd. Apparently this was the purpose for which it was first cultivated.
Approximately 95mm tall and 71mm at its widest.
The silver collar does show its age with some dents.
