Woodbridge Antiques has dated this piece to the 1800s.
This enhances the overall appearance as the gilt intensifies the wonderful pattern. Inside the vinaigrette has also been gilded. The pierced grill is particularly attractive (see images). The hinge to the grill works well and although the lid does not 'click' to close it closes perfectly.

This is a beautiful item - ideal for a collector of vinaigrettes, lovely and rare in silver gilt and particularly attractive due to pattern design and grill.
Condition: In great antique collector's condition.
