About the Item
A charming and highly decorative vintage pair of sterling silver owl salt and pepper casters by William Comyns
Sons Ltd (Richard Comyns), hallmarked London, 1975. Finely modelled in naturalistic detail, each owl is intricately cast with textured feathering, expressive glass eyes, and gilded interiors.
The owls demonstrate the renowned craftsmanship of the Comyns workshop, long celebrated for producing imaginative and sculptural silver inspired by nature. Both functional and decorative, these casters are an excellent example of 20th-century British silver that would appeal equally to collectors of novelty silver and those seeking a statement piece for the dining table.
