A truly beautiful Victorian solid silver vinaigrette, c.1850s, with delicate engraving and a warm patina only time can create. Open it and you’ll find the original pierced grille, still bright with age. The hallmarks... Crisp as a winter morning—fully struck and singing of quality. 
This particular piece features a floral back with a buckle like front design. It comes complete with a bale ready to be worn on a chain. There is wear to the inside. 
These little treasures once held scented sponges to protect against the less-than-fragrant streets of the 19th century. Romantic, useful, and just the right amount of curious. An object made to be held, loved, and carried.
