Description from the seller

Silver Minerva spice shaker (19th century) with removable glass insert – Contrasts and authenticity hallmarks

Elegant 19th-century French spice shaker, made in contrasted silver with the Minerva mark, the official punch that certifies high-purity French silver (950/1000). The piece features a body decorated with floral reliefs and garlands, typical of the refined French style of the era.

The spice shaker retains its removable interior glass insert, perfectly fitted to the metal body and in excellent condition. The edge and the base show meticulous metalworking, with vegetal motifs and relief details that enhance its artisanal character.

At the bottom and top the Minerva punch is visible along with the silversmith’s punch, guaranteeing its authenticity and French origin.
