The Vinaigrette is broad rectangular in form with raised foliate borders. The sides and base are decorated with engine turned designs around a vacant oblong cartouche. The interior is finely gilded and displays a grille, intricately pierced with pluming foliate scrolls and a flower head detail. This piece is in excellent condition and is very well marked, including a sterling mark on the underside of the grille. The cover displays a castle top view in relief of Guy's Tower, Warwick Castle, with the castle apartments to the left. This most popular choice of view amongst nineteenth century artists was illustrated in a great many prints. An identical box of the same date and by Taylor & Perry is shown on Plate 246, Page 152 of "Silver Boxes" by Eric Delieb.
