About the Item
Sterling Silver
From our Silver collection, we are delighted to offer this extremely rare Erotic Sterling Silver Vinaigrette by Joseph Ash I. The Silver Vinaigrette of petit circular form with removable lid revealing the grill containing the sponge inside. The Silver Vinaigrette is decorated to the exterior with very rare etched phallic depictions. The Silver is hallmarked Sterling, London by Joseph Ash I and dated to the Georgian period during the reign of George III 1808.
Vinaigrettes were small, portable and decorative boxes that were used as accessible methods of carrying perfume and scents during the 18th and 19th century while travelling. This not only saved space compared to bottles but also served as a way of keeping the nose refreshed via the soaked sponge inside containing perfume or aromatic vinegar. As each vinaigrette was different it was also a social distinction and a display of grandeur and wealth. Today vinaigrettes have become very collectable due to the various different types from an array of different makers. Erotic examples like this one are extremely rare and highly desirable in todays market.
Joseph Ash I was a London silversmith apprenticed to Roger Biggs of the Glovers Company from 1793. He became free in 1801 and his 1st mark as small worker 1801 entered one day after his freedom. He had two sons, James and Joseph II, James apprenticed to Joseph Bibbs in 1818.
Sterling Silver is an alloy composed by weight of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. The sterling silver standard has a minimum millesimal fineness (parts per thousand) of 925.
