The Silver Cabinet has dated this piece to the Georgian era.
Egg-shaped and much used, the two sides of the egg twist together, and the grater grill pulls out. The joins are tight.
The price reflects the condition.

It is clearly hallmarked within the lid for Birmingham 1796, with the maker's mark of the great Samuel Pemberton.
It is gorgeous...
