This Victorian sterling silver vanity pot dates to 1887 in the Victorian style. The small cylindrical trinket box is rendered in a bright silver colour with a polished metallic finish. The lid displays repousse scrollwork framing a vacant central cartouche, bordered by a beaded rim, while the lower body features continuous floral scrollwork above a fluted base. Hallmarks for London 1887 and the silversmith's mark for Charles Stuart Harris appear on the piece. The pot stands 6 cm tall with a base diameter of 7.5 cm. Place this vanity pot on a bedside table to hold small items such as rings, cufflinks, or earrings. The silver container sits flat on surfaces and provides a traditional decorative accent for a bedroom or dressing area interior.

FAQs

Victorian silver vanity pots were designed for dressing tables to hold items such as cosmetics, face powders, rouge, or small pieces of jewellery.

These pots were produced using silversmithing techniques including repousse, chasing, and hand-engraving onto sterling silver sheet metal, often completed with hallmarked lids.

Authentic late Victorian pieces feature official British hallmarks, including a makers mark, town mark, standard mark (lion passant for sterling), and a specific date letter representing the year of manufacture.

A silver vanity pot can be styled on a bedside table, bathroom counter, or dressing table as a functional container for small daily accessories or decorative display.

Sterling silver should be cleaned using a soft microfiber cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding abrasive materials that can scratch the metal or wear down intricate surface details.
