Matched Pair of Antique Silver Novelty Peppers

1900 - 1920
Description

An excellent couple of solid sterling silver pepperettes, fashioned as flour dusters.

The slightly smaller is hallmarked for Birmingham 1894 with the maker's mark for Joseph Whitten. The bigger, for Birmingham 1906 and Robert Pringle.

The lids pull off and carry partial hallmarks. The condition of both is very good and the fact that they are different would enable them to be distinguished from each other if they were to be used for salt and pepper on a picnic!

Dimensions:

Total Weight: 8g

Height: 2.8/3cm

Diameter of Bases: 1.5cm

Width: 2/2.4cm

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.

A matched pair of Edwardian sterling silver pepperettes take the miniature form of cylindrical tankards with applied horizontal mouldings, curved side handles, and domed perforated lids. Solid silver construction presents a bright reflective metallic finish in a polished silver colourway, accompanied by functional pull-off caps and individual hallmarking. The smaller piece measures 3 cm high, 2.4 cm wide, and 1.5 cm deep. These condiment vessels suit everyday dining use on a traditional sideboard top or a dining table within an English country house interior. The portable scale makes them adaptable for picnics or refined table settings where matching yet distinct shakers allow easy identification of contents.

FAQs

Novelty silver pepper casters are small, functional condiment containers produced primarily during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Unlike traditional baluster-shaped casters, novelty examples were fashioned into whimsical forms such as miniature tankards, lanterns, or animals.

These items were predominantly constructed from solid sterling silver or high-grade silver plate. Sterling silver pieces feature standard hallmarks indicating the fineness of the metal alongside makers marks and date letters.

Authentic silver pieces bear official assay office hallmarks, including a hallmark for silver purity, a town mark, a date letter, and a makers mark. Look for light wear consistent with age, secure friction-fit or screw caps, and crisp construction details.

Pair these pieces alongside modern crisp white linen and contemporary dinnerware to create a textured table setting. They serve as functional conversation pieces during formal dinners or can be displayed on a sideboard top.

Clean silver items gently using a specialised silver polishing cloth or a mild silver cream applied with a soft cotton swab. Avoid abrasive materials and wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water to remove salt or pepper residues that cause oxidisation over time.
