A Fabulous Sterling Silver Pepper Grinder.

A fabulous Sterling silver pepper grinder from the late 19th Century. Pepper grinders are somewhat rare and much sought after. This is a superb example from the USA, with gorgeous acanthus and shell design and a subtle monogram to the front.

It has a dual method of operation, allowing the pepper to be ground and then contained below for shaking out, when opened. The other option is for the base to be twisted to close and the pepper not released until required. The gauge of the silver is excellent.
