George V Silver Pepper Shaker, George Unite, 1932
Here we have an unusual shaped George V Sterling Silver Pepper Shaker. The pepper pot is from the height of the Art Deco era and has a distinctively Deco feel to it, without being as angular as many other pieces. The shaker top screws off and on, making it nice and secure when shaking pepper onto your food.
The pepper shaker is made by George Unite & Sons & Lyle Ltd in Birmingham and dates to 1932. George Unite is a rightly renowned silversmith and founded his business back in 1832, becoming George Unite & Sons in 1873 and finally George Unite & Sons & Lyle Ltd in 1928. The firm finally closed in 1933, just a year after this item was made.
Overall condition is good but there is a small crease on the body just to the upper right of the hallmark along with the minimal surface wear that you would expect for an item of this age and use. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The shaker is 3.7cm / 1.5ins in diameter across its widest part and 4.8cm / 1.9ins high. It weighs in at a respectable 25g / 0.88oz of solid Sterling Silver.
The hallmarks on the side of the body are nice and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the anchor assay mark for Birmingham, the date letter H for 1932 and the G.U.S & L makers mark for George Unite & Sons & Lyle Ltd. In addition there is a lion passant and date letter H on the underside of the lid.
Shipping in the UK is £6 by Royal Mail Tracked 24.
Overseas customers please ask us about shipping costs to your country before making a purchase.
