This impressive antique 1800's silver vinaigrette book is an excellent gauge of silver, excellent quality and in excellent condition. The engine turned decoration is all very sharp. Full British hallmarks struck to the interior of the base and interior of the cover are very clear, in keeping with age. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this piece of antique silverware.
