Description

A rare combination Victorian silver and glass vinagrette/pill box scent/salts bottle. A quality item. The glass has been stained by what I suspect might have been smelling salts, personally I have never seen this much “frosting” from perfume. Bears the owners monogram to both sides and the top. Top opens with a push button and the seal bears the name P & F Schafer. The vinaigrette has the original sponge in and the lid is engraved with P & F Schafer 27 Piccadilly, registered 21st August 18?? can’t quite read the date. Marks for London 1878 Thomas Johnson I.

FAQs

A vinaigrette is a small ornamental container used during the 18th and 19th centuries to hold a sponge soaked in aromatic vinegar, designed to be opened for relief from unpleasant odours in crowded spaces.

These items are predominantly constructed from sterling silver, often featuring cut or blown glass bodies, and frequently incorporate internal gilt grilles pierced with decorative patterns.

Authenticity is generally determined by examining hallmarks for assay office stamps, date letters, and makers marks, alongside assessing the quality of hand-engraving and the patination of the silver.

Small antique collectables can be displayed on decorative trays, within glass-fronted cabinets, or used as accents on dressing tables and mantelpieces to add historical texture to modern interiors.

Silver components should be cleaned gently with a specialist non-abrasive microfibre cloth and silver polish, avoiding harsh chemicals, while glass sections can be wiped carefully with a damp cloth.
