DESCRIPTION

Very collectible and ornate salt & pepper Dispensers

About this object.

Probably one of the most unusual salt and pepper shakers Perfection ever produced. Made in pressed electroplated nickel silver, from the 'Perfection A1' series, electroplated nickel silver, made by the Silverbrite Electroplating Company, Redfern, New South Wales, Australia, c.1930
They are backstamped "Perfection EPNS A1

Condition

They seem to be in excellent condition with little sign of wear and given the corrosive nature of salt, I’d say they have hardly been used or were cleaned and dried after every usage to protect corrosion. Or kept in a display case. And would be highly prized by a keen collector of authentic vintage Australiana.

Maker

Silverbrite Electroplating Company

Manufacturer

Perfection Plate Pty ltd

Date Made

c. 1950-70?

Place Made

Redfern, New South Wales, Australia

Place Notes

Australian electroplating company, 'Perfection', made these stylish electroplated nickel silver (EPNS) salt and pepper dispensers as part of its range of domestic wares, marked 'Perfection A1'.
Established under the Silverbrite Electroplating Company in Sydney in 1925, Perfection operated from Eveleigh Street, Redfern, where it produced items for Mark Foys and other retail stores. Soon, the Silverbrite Company developed an extensive range of hollow-ware under the brand name, 'Perfection A1 Electro Plate', which sold through local jewellery houses, including Prouds.

I couldn’t find a date for when the factory closed, which would create the latest date this item could have been made, but the style looks to be post-war and probably when businesses in general were becoming successful again.

Inscription and Marks

They are backstamped "Perfection Silver EPNSA1
