AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Weight
0.8 troy ounces/25 g
Date: 1900
A very well-preserved sterling silver "VINAIGRETTE" of very high quality from the Victorian period around 1850.
Note the very finely pierced, gold-plated grille.
Equipped with all marks including the master mark C.W.C, which stands for Charles William Cheshire.
For its age, in excellent condition such as the perfectly fitting lid and hinges.
The exterior shows only very light signs of use.
The master mark C.W.C stands for Charles William Cheshire, a registered silversmith active in the English silver trade in the mid-19th century. He shared the workshop location on Northampton Street in the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham with other members of the well-known Cheshire family of silversmiths.
Victorian silverware is often heavy and richly decorated. Silversmiths like Charles William Cheshire made extensive use of lavish engravings, lifelike floral motifs, and naturalistic patterns (such as leaves, flowers, and tendrils) during this period.
