AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An elegant and rare antique French sugar shaker from the late 19th century. This three-piece shaker blends refined French craftsmanship with a functional and ingenious design.
Sugar shaker made of high-quality French silver, stamped with the well-known Mercurius head hallmark (suitable for export or specific silver guarantees, guaranteed .925 sterling silver). All silver parts are marked with the hallmark.
Interior: Fitted with the original, custom-made glass inner bottle. This protects the silver inside from the action of sugar crystals and moisture, keeping the silver in top condition.
The shaker is executed in a timeless, classic French style and is subtly decorated with a refined fine pearl edge (guilloche/pearl border motif) along the base and rims.
Construction (3-piece): 1. A sturdy silver foot/holder on which the glass rests.
2. The original glass interior with an elegant, slender neck.
3. The richly perforated silver shaker cap (shaker head) that fits seamlessly.
Dimensions: height 17.5 cm, weight together with glass inner portion 277 g. All in very good condition. Everything will be well packed.
