A lovely George III silver vinaigrette of oval form with a typical Georgian engraved design commonly found on patch boxes from the same period. This has a plain grille as was usual on these earlier vinaigrettes. It has a unengraved central cartouche on the front. The inside is complete and contains a plain grille and gilded interior. The hallmarks inside the lid are clear. A really desirable and collectable George III silver vinaigrette.
