A rare George III Vinaigrette made in London in 1800 by William Frisbee.

The Vinaigrette is of an unusual circular form and is decorated on the cover and base with concentric engine turned designs around a central flower head. The sides are of plain design, with a protruding thumb piece. The cover opens to reveal a finely gilded interior and grille which, unusually, opens from the front and which is pierced with roundels. This example is of the finest quality and is an early example of a vinaigrette, as few survive from the 18th century.
