A very rare set of four William IV Cast Salt or Spice Dishes made in London in 1835 by William Eaton.

This exceptional set are circular in form, with wide lobed curved sides rising to a plain rim and a finely gilded interior. All pieces are in excellent condition and are fully marked on the base and, unusually, with the sterling mark on the rim. This is a most unusual design which was also made in Dublin and is influenced by the salt cellar designs of the late Seventeenth Century. William Eaton was a very fine maker, of innovative designs. Various examples of his work can be seen in our archive.
