An extremely fine & rare Vinaigrette made in Birmingham in 1863 by Frederick Marson.

The Vinaigrette is broad rectangular in form and the waisted sides and base are engraved with stylised foliate designs on a scratch engraved ground. The cover is, most unusually, inset with panels of agate and hardstones including bloodstone, blue agate and jasper, all separated by a gold wire frame. The interior is finely gilded and displays a grille pierced and engraved with pluming, swirling, feathery scrolls. The Vinaigrette is in excellent condition and is very well marked.
