This charming solid silver vinaigrette is a perfect example of Victorian elegance in miniature. Crafted with precision and intention, the lid opens to reveal a gilt grille that would have once hidden a perfumed sponge, used to mask unpleasant odours.
The craftsmanship is superb—the silver smooth and well-balanced, and the hallmarks remain clear and deep, a lovely touch for collectors. A real piece of daily life from the past, blending form, function and history. 
One tiny dink to the underside, not noticeable when worn. There’s something magical about holding something so small yet so full of story.
