£1,350

The Vinaigrette is of broad rectangular, cushion, form.  The plain silver sides display a serpentine shaped thumb piece and both the cover and base are inset with very unusually shaded, slightly domed,  Scottish agate panels.  The cover opens up to reveal a beautifully pierced and engraved grille displaying a floral spray including a harebell.  This unusual Vinaigrette is in excellent condition.  Although unmarked, this is almost certainly Scottish in origin.
