Sterling Silver Pig Salt and Pepper Shakers - Antique Edwardian

These exceptional antique Edwardian sterling silver salt and pepper shakers are realistically modelled in the form of pigs.

These antique condiment shakers are embellished with embossed and chased decoration reproducing the details of the pigs' skin and anatomical features.

Each piece retains the original, hallmarked screw fit cover/stopper to the underside of the animal's torso.

The head of each pig is embellished with corresponding pierced 'salt and pepper' holes.

These fine examples of antique silverware are fitted to the original hinged leatherette box with satin and velvet lined interior and secures with a push fit catch.

Such period silver cruets in the original presentation box are rare to the market.

Maker: Robert Pringle & Sons

These antique silver salt and pepper shakers are an exceptional gauge of silver for their type, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.

Full hallmarks struck to the surface of each pig and part hallmarks to the covers are all very clear.

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