The cover of these sterling silver owl shakers are further ornamented with the original bead eyes; each piece bears a different colour pair of eyes.

These antique sterling silver owl shakers are an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.

The embossed decoration is very sharp.

Full hallmarks struck to the underside of each owl and part hallmarks to the covers are all very clear.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these pieces of owl silverware.
