A silver pepper shaker worked with incised swirls and finished with balls around its base - the swirls cut into the metal and the beadwork gathered below, both recurring elements of the workshop's holloware vocabulary. It is part of a set, designed to pair with a matching shaker.
The incised swirl and applied balls turn a small functional object into a hand-finished one, in keeping with the first design period's character.
With no scholarly reference recorded, this is a modestly documented table form.
