What was a silver vinaigrette?
1 Answer
A silver vinaigrette is a kind of decorated silver box that was used to transport perfumes during times of travel. A person would soak a sponge in their desired perfume and then place it inside the vinaigrette, allowing for much easier transport than with glass bottles. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of vintage silver vinaigrettes from some of the world’s top sellers.
