Description
A fine and impressive pair of antique Edwardian English sterling silver shell peppers; an addition to our novelty silver cruets/condiments collection. These exceptional, fine and impressive antique Edwardian sterling silver peppers are stylistically modelled in the form of 12-gauge shells. The upper portion of each pepper is embellished with pierced 'pepper' holes. Each pepper pot retains the original fully hallmarked screw fit detachable base. Each base retains the original gilding representing the brass of the shell and the body of each bears the original oxidised finish; examples with this combination is rare to the market. Such examples in this exceptional and almost unused condition are becoming increasingly difficult to locate. These items have been crafted as a matching pair and will have been crafted in fewer years, however, due to the hallmarking system one pepper is struck with the date letter 'g' (1902) and the other bears the date letter 'i' (1906).
