Description from the seller
Minerva Silver Pepper Grinder (19th century) with removable glass vessel – Authenticity contrasts and hallmarks

The pepper grinder retains its removable inner glass container, perfectly fitted to the metal body and in excellent condition. The edge and base display meticulous metalwork, with vegetal motifs and embossed details that enhance its artisanal character.
