About the Item

Circa 1816, this sterling silver vinaigrette is octagonal, with convex top and bottom lids, giving it a nice rounded shape. The top of the box is engraved with a latticework design, and the bottom of the vinaigrette is engraved with a flower that mirrors the elongated shape of the box. The interior of the box is gilt, with a dotted grille.  A vinaigrette is a small portable decorative box that would hold a scent behind a grille. These personalized hinged boxes could fit in your hand or hang comfortably from a chain, and became popular for travel in the Georgian and the Victorian- Regency eras.  Vinaigrettes come in various sizes and shapes, and the grilles inside of each are all unique. Some of the grilles are quite elaborate, with intricate flower and leaf ornamentation, or perhaps with a gold wash, and always punctured for release of the perfume. Behind the grille one would carry a sponge soaked in an aromatic vinegar (hence the name), or a scent of choice that would not only hide any uncomfortable street smells but could also serve as an intimate perfume or a smelling salt to arouse consciousness. Similar to the ancient pomander, pounce box, or the snuff box, these beautiful little objects became part of everyday rituals to enhance the quality of life. The vinaigrette is marked for 1816, Birmingham, sterling silver, and with the maker’s mark “JW” for Joseph Willmore.  It measures 1 1/8” x 3/4” x 1/4” and weighs 7.6 grams.
