Description:

ITEM DESCRIPTION: This piece is a very rare and incredible large sterling and enamel vinaigrette. The top features a man cherub embracing a young woman with a blue background enamel. The lid lifts to reveal a beautiful engraved grill.  The silver box portion has raised garlands around the sides. The piece is quite exceptional! 

AGE: C-1870-1900

CONDITION: Excellent antique condition. No damage to the enamel. There is a split in the grill as shown in the photos. Also, the lid will close but wants to pop back open. These are the only two small issues I could find in this amazing piece. 

SIZE: Measures 1-7/8" across and 2-1/2" long. 

MARKS: Sterling Silver, 930 and I believe a makers mark I cannot quite make out. 

Most of my items are antique and over 100 years old.

I make every effort to point out any flaws, defects or damage. Measurements are done with a regular tape measure, so please treat all measurements as approximate. Please be sure to examine the photos carefully and if you have any questions please email me for additional information.

Shipping:

Please note, I live in a small town and the cut off for shipping is 2:00PM Pacific Time.

Domestic Buyers:

All items are shipped in new boxes with tissue, bubble wrap and peanuts to protect the items. I want your item to arrive to you safely. All domestic parcels are shipped Priority or First Class mail, depending on weight.  Delivery confirmation is included on all domestic packages for free. I include insurance when the item is breakable. I am always happy to combine items to reduce shipping costs on multiple purchases. If you are purchasing more than one item, please wait for an invoice from me so I can give you the best rate available for shipping. Do not pay the Ebay automated invoice on multiply purchases.

International Buyers Please Note: In an effort to keep costs down for our international customers, I use First Class International with insurance if the package is under 4 lbs. This is much less expensive than priority mail and travels just as quickly.  Please be aware that I do my best to keep those costs low and still include insurance. If necessary I will double box to be sure the item arrives safely. I am happy to combine items to reduce shipping costs. The buyer is responsible for any duty or customs charges. I will not document the item as a gift or below the value of the actual purchase as it is illegal to do so. However, I do list the item as ANTIQUE over 100 years old, on the customs document if the item is antique. 


 


Payment:

I accept Paypal and I can take your Visa/MC if you prefer.

Please email me with any questions. Thanks and Happy Bidding.
