Regular price
$345.00
Presented is an excellent pair of antique Dutch 833 purity silver salt and pepper shakers, dated 1917. The shakers are made in a classic and charming form of a man and woman in traditional clothing, nicely detailed and well formed. The 'cap' of each figure is hinged and pierced to form a lid/dispenser for salt and pepper. Otherwise, they just look like two figurines.
These shakers are in excellent condition. No splits, no dents, no monograms, no monogram removals, and no repairs.
Both pieces are stamped with the Dutch second standard hallmark of a lion passant guarateeing a minimum of 833 purity silver, with the Minerva head duty stamp, and the date letter H for 1917, and on the woman specifically there is also likely a maker's mark and “Holland.”
Both figures are about 3 inches tall.
The total weight for the pair is 81 grams or 2.9 regular ounces. -jm
