George III Silver Vinaigrette by John Shaw 1817
1 of 6
Vinaigrettes are small boxes used to hold sponges soaked in smelling salts, pleasant smelling oils, perfume or aromatic vinegar. They were used by Georgian and Victorian ladies and gentlemen to revive faintness and ward off unpleasant odours.
This is a lovely example of a George III vinaigrette, of engraved silver cushion shape with gilt interior and grill, with the unusual feature of having the sponge still present. Hallmarked Birmingham 1817, makers mark John Shaw.
2.5cms x 2cms
Weight 8g
Both the box and grill hinges are in good order and lid closes properly. The gilt is not worn and there are only minor tiny signs of wear on the silver. The sponge has a tiny corner missing and is brittle with age but holds together well for its' age - a great example for its' age.
A super addition to any vinaigrette collection and a lovely Christmas present for any existing or starter collector. Unless otherwise stated, all our items include postage and packaging in the UK.
