A rare George IV silver gilt 'Herring Bone' Vinaigrette made in Birmingham in 1822 by Thomas Shaw.

The Vinaigrette is broad rectangular in form and is decorated all over with herring bone and corded bands. The cover also displays a vacant rectangular cartouche. The interior is very well marked and displays a grille pierced with pluming scrolls and flower heads, all contained within a bright cut frame. This was a design which was also exclusive to the workshops of Thomas Shaw.
