This exceptional antique Victorian sterling silver pepper has a cylindrical shaped form realistically modelled in the form of a champagne bottle.
The lower cylindrical portion of the body is embellished with the contemporary bright cut engraved Roman numerals 'XXIX' - 29.
The pepper is fitted with the original hallmarked push fit cover modelled in the form of a foil capped champagne cork embellished with pierced 'pepper' holes subdivided by an integrated wire muselet/wirehood indentation design.
The underside of this impressive novelty sterling silver pepper bears the retailer's mark 'Jones, London & Paris'.
