Additional information

Vinaigrette formed as a basket suspended by a gold link chain from a small gold ring, the sides, base and domed cover with multicolored bouquets of flowers on a translucent red enamelled guilloché ground framed in white and gold scrollwork. A small chain in red, green and pink enamel and gold connects the vinaigrette to a ring. The removable interior grill is richly decorated with rinceau and openwork foliage. Circa 1820-1830.
