An exceptional, fine and impressive, rare antique Edwardian English sterling silver teddy bear pepper; an addition to our range of silver novelty items

This exceptional and rare antique Edwardian sterling silver pepperette has been realistically modelled in the form of a teddy bear.

This impressive novelty silver pepperette is embellished with embossed and chased decoration reproducing the details of the bear's fur and anatomical features.

This sterling silver teddy bear pepper retains the original fully hallmarked push fit cover/head which features pierced 'pepper' holes to the upper surface.

This impressive antique model features fully articulated arms and legs, allowing the bear to be adjusted to a seated position.

Such original period pieces with moving components are rare to the market.

This antique silver pepper is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.

The embossed and chased decoration is all very sharp.

Full hallmarks struck to the surface of the body and part hallmarks to the sleeve of the cover/head are all very clear.

Reflections in photography may detract from the true representation of this piece of Edwardian silverware.
