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.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

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.
