A very rare William IV 'Maltese Cross' Vinaigrette made in Birmingham in 1835 by Joseph Willmore.
257750
The Vinaigrette is finely modelled as a Maltese Cross and both the cover and base are beautifully engraved with sunburst designs around a central stylised flower head. This example has a suspensory ring and the interior grille is pierced and engraved with flower heads and pluming scrolls. The Vinaigrette is in excellent condition and is very well marked. This is a very rare design and a similar example is shown in Investing in Silver by Eric Delieb, page 112.
