19th century

Sold by Digby Antiques (Wiltshire)

Description

A French silver gilt cornucopia vinaigrette and scent combination.

No marks, but tests as silver.

The scent bottle end has a cap which opens and closes very well and it has the original glass stopper.

Faceted glass body with no damage. There is really no evidence that this has in fact been used.

The other end is the vinaigrette which opens up and snaps shut to reveal the vinaigrette grill. The top then unscrews to reveal the original sponge.

There is some wear to the gilt mainly on the two ends and there is a small split, please see photo number 4, this where someone thought that the top pushed off rather than unscrews but it does not detract from a super piece.
