An unusual pair of George IV Peppers made in London in 1821 by William Theobalds.

The Peppers stand on a circular pedestal foot decorated with reeding. The unusual campana shaped bodies rise to an everted rim decorated with an egg and foliate motif border. Both Peppers are engraved with a contemporary Crest above a raised horizontal girdle decorated with grapes and vines. The domed covers terminate in a ball finial and are pierced with roundels and crescent moons. Both are well marked and have finely gilded interiors. The Peppers are modelled in a most unusual design.



Height: 3.45 inches, 8.63cm.

Diameter at the rim: 1.9 inches, 4.75cm.
