This beautiful vinaigrette having fine engine turned decoration on all sides, with a shield shaped cartouche to the lid and an engraved floral clasp to the front. The silver gilt interior having a pierced and engraved hinged cover which would have received a sponge with aromatic scent to smell, rather than the foul smell of the city!
Both the interior of the lid and the interior of the base are hallmarked for Gervase Wheeler, Birmingham, 1839.
