1881 British antique sterling silver vinaigrette 21g Hilliard & Thomason

We would like to introduce you to an antique British sterling silver vinaigrette.

Vinaigrette is a French word meaning "vinegar," and is the name given to the small containers used to hold smelling salts.

This was created by Hilliard & Thomason of Birmingham, England in 1881 .
Both lids are intricately decorated with leaf motifs.
The overall shape is oval, like a flower.
There is a jump ring on the side so that it can be attached to a chain or something similar.

We hope this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you!
