Finds such as these are rare,

as it’s a fascinating piece of the early XIX century history of England

 

The vinaigrette is nearly 210 years old, 

yet it’s in beautiful original condition

 

Performed in silver gilt with exceptional attention to details:

it showcases skilled craftsmanship, 

made in shape of a lovely ladies’ handbag, 

with lovely details on outside & initial engraving “W.P.”

 

The interior features distinct English hallmarks:

anchor for Birmingham, letter date, lion passant for sterling silver

It displays exceptional gilding and a grille pierced and engraved 

with delightful vine leaves & grape clusters 

 

This piece is in excellent condition with all the detail being very crisp.
