A Mid-20th Century English Glass Hip Flask with Leather Sleeve and Associated Gilt-Washed Metal Cup - A vintage English sporting-style hip flask comprising a glass vessel partially encased in a stitched brown leather sleeve. The flask features a white metal screw-top cap with a ribbed neck. Accompanying the flask is a coordinating tapered white metal cup or beaker, featuring a golden-toned gilt-washed interior. The leather sleeve is constructed with machine-stitched perimeter detailing and covers the lower portion of the glass body. The metal components are unattributed, with no visible hallmarks or maker's marks, though the style is consistent with silver-plated or pewter field accessories. The design is characteristic of traditional British field and hunting equipment from the mid-20th century.
