Description

A fine example of a Georgian silver Vinaigrette with gilt lined interior and pierced gilt grille. It is an attractive small size and is decorated on both sides with delicate engraved patterns and a small cartouche with the initials RB.

It is clearly hallmarked for Birmingham, 1823 and the maker John Bettridge. It weighs approximately 14g.

It is in good condition for its age. There are no major damages and it displays beautifully. There are some faint surface marks and signs of age and use but nothing detrimental. The hinges are in good order and the gilt interior is bright. It has been gently cleaned and polished and is ready for use.

FAQs

A vinaigrette is a small decorative silver box used primarily during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to hold a sponge soaked in perfume or aromatic substances. These items were carried personal accessories designed to counteract unpleasant odours in public spaces.

Georgian vinaigrettes were primarily crafted from sterling silver or gold, frequently featuring gilded interior grilles to prevent the acidic aromatic liquids from corroding the metal.

Authentic Georgian pieces typically display hallmark stamps including the makers mark, sovereign head duty mark, lion passant for sterling quality, and a date letter corresponding to the Georgian era.

A silver vinaigrette can be displayed on a tray atop a bedside table, placed inside a glass curio cabinet, or arranged alongside period books on an office desk.

Clean the silver gently using a soft cotton cloth and a specialised silver polish, avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners or prolonged immersion in water to preserve delicate engraving and internal gilding.
