A Rare George V Silver Cayenne Spice Pot

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Jeff Sims Antiques

Description

A delightful and rare all silver cayenne bottle & spoon. This unusual piece dates from early in the reign of King George V. The baluster shaped body has a flat base. The pull off lid has stepped decoration and a flame finial. Inside there is a fitted spoon. The bottle would have been for cayenne pepper, a condiment served at the table from the 18th Century into the 20th Century. Over the years it has been suggested that the small spoon and modest container was used for other (more nefarious and exotic) powdered substances, but this is open to debate. A lovely collector's piece. Dimensions below.
