Pewter 6oz Kidney Hip Flask with Diagonal Stripe

A distinctive diagonal stripe adorns this brightly polished peweter Hip Flask, adding a unique touch to an already classic design. The stripe features a matt-satin finish making this a real eye-catching piece.

Hip Flasks were originally used by members of the gentry in the 18th century, allowing small amounts of usually alcoholic beverages to be carried on one's person. Going back earlier in History, pig's bladders and gutten fruit were used to store liqour.

Kidney shaped flasks are shaped to fit the contours of the body, so they aren't so easy to spot!

Hip Flasks make great gifts, particularly for Fathers-of-the-Bride, Bestmen, Groomsmen and the Groom himself, or to celebrate a young man's 18th or 21st Birthday.
