IN MY FAMILY FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS, FROM MY GRANDMOTHER'S FAMILY, THIS DELIGHTFUL PIECE HAS AN OLD CARLTON SWALLOW MARK WHICH THE GODDEN ENCYCLOPEDIA SUGGESTS DATES IT BETWEEN 1894 AND 1925.
(If anyone can provide a more accurate date please do so.)
DIFFERENT VARIATIONS OF THE SWEET PEA FLOWER ON OPPOSITE SIDES.
SHAKER TOP HAS THE FEEL OF STERLING BUT NO MARKS TO DISTINGUISH. TOP SITS SNUGLY ON SILVER RIM.
14 cms HIGH.
SHAKERS ARE VERY COLLECTABLE SO WHAT INTEREST IN THIS LOVELY OLD PIECE?
questions welcome. good luck
