Sorry, this item is out of stock.

A rare example of a vinaigrette from      the so called "nursery rhyme" series produced by Linwood during      the Regency period. The engraved scene depicts a man having a picnic with      his dog looking on hopefully. 

In addition to the finely engraved cover is the superb      simulated filigree gilt grille. The entire interior retains its' original      gilding and clear set of hallmarks. The underside has a navette shaped      cartouche with script initials.

Please "Silver Boxes" by Eric Delieb page 107      for a similar example from the same series.
