A very fine early George IV silver gilt Vinaigrette made in London in 1821 by William Elliott.

The Vinaigrette is broad rectangular in form with rounded ends and a raised cast foliate edge. The sides are decorated with reeding and the cover and base with engine turning. The cover also displays a rectangular cartouche engraved with a set of contemporary script initials. The interior is very well marked and displays a very unusual grille pierced and engraved with a foliate spray and flower head.
