FAQs

Popularised in late 19th-century Britain, novelty pepperettes were whimsical condiment containers crafted in figurative shapes such as animals, characters, or everyday objects. They served both a functional role on the dining table and as conversation pieces during formal meals.

These items were predominantly cast in pewter, electroplated nickel silver (EPNS), or sterling silver. Details such as eyes were frequently inlaid with small coloured glass beads or paste gems to enhance the realistic appearance of the creature.

Authentic 19th-century pieces typically exhibit casting seam lines, hand-chased surface texturing, natural patina or oxidisation in crevices, and pierced holes at the top or snout. They may also feature makers marks or registration numbers stamped on the base or interior rim.

While originally intended for dining tables, these small figurative objects can be styled on a curated sideboard top, stacked within a bookshelf display, or integrated into a vignette of antique metalwork on a mantelpiece.

Pewter should be cleaned gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive polishes that can strip natural age patina. Ensure the piece is entirely dry after cleaning, particularly around delicate inset glass elements.
