An extraordinary Victorian cast silver pepper formed as a Grotesque smiling clowns head. A very rare piece made Grey & Co , Birmingham 1896.
The Griining face has great detail and the skull cap bears the holes for the pepper and the frilled collar unscrews to facilitate refilling. The clown measures 5.5cm tall x 4.5cm in diameter at the base and weighs 40g of sterling silver. Thank you for looking, please take a few moments to view our other amazing silver.
