SKU: E21093




Art Deco Sterling Silver Emu Egg Carafe – 1930 Vic Police Award – 665g Heritage



An extraordinary fusion of history, artistry, and national identity, this handcrafted sterling silver carafe is a breathtaking homage to both Australian craftsmanship and the legacy of its law enforcement heroes. Weighing an impressive 665 grams, the vessel takes the noble form of an emu egg — a symbol of endurance and the untamed beauty of the land.

Presented in 1930 by Mr. Donald Mackintosh to Senior Constable R.J. Gibson (5194), the Champion Revolver Shot of the Victorian Police, this exceptional piece is steeped in honour and tradition. Whether silvered from an authentic emu egg or cast from its elegant contours, the carafe embodies meticulous design — complete with a cork stopper crowned by exquisitely rendered native flora. Its clever construction allows it to be fully disassembled, revealing the fine attention to detail throughout.

A minor crack in the handle stands as a gentle reminder of its journey through time — a small imperfection that only enhances its character and authenticity. Structurally sound and enduringly functional, this rare trophy is far more than a commemorative object. It is a jeweller’s triumph, a relic of Australia’s storied past, and a piece worthy of the finest private collection or museum display.

I had been looking for XVN rings as I love the style. This jasper ring is perfect. It arrived promptly and was packaged in its own ring box. I also purchased 3 other XVN rings and was pleasantly surprised that a postal refund was given as they came together in the same parcel.
