Description

This is a very charming couple of solid sterling silver pepperettes.

They are hallmarked for Chester 1902 & Chester 1894 and both carry the maker's mark for Saunders and Shepherd.

The lids pull off to reveal good gilding inside and partial hallmarks on the sides. There are a couple of small dents to the bottom rims and one has a slightly bent thumb piece on the handle - quite useful if you wanted to distinguish between them as salt and pepper for a picnic!

Dimensions:

Combined Silver Weight: 24g

Height: 3.5cm

Width: 3cm

Diameter of base: 2.5cm.

Complimentary gift wrapping is available on request.

Post and packaging are free within the UK. Overseas buyers please e-mail for postage costs and please note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying.

FAQs

Novelty silver pepper pots gained popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries as wealthy households sought whimsical and ornate tableware to impress guests during formal dining occasions.

These items are traditionally crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as spinning, casting, and hand-piercing for the shaker lids, often finished with applied handles and maker marks.

Authentic pieces are identified by hallmarks stamped into the metal, indicating the assay office, standard of silver, and date letter, alongside period-appropriate construction methods and natural patina.

Antique silver adds a touch of historical contrast when displayed on open shelving, dining tables, or sideboards, pairing well with both minimalist modern ceramics and traditional table settings.

Antique silver should be cleaned infrequently using a non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth to preserve the hallmarks and natural oxidation, and stored in a low-humidity environment.
