A Silver and Filigree Spice Container, Austria, Late 19th Century

About the Item

A fine example of late 19th-century Austrian craftsmanship, this silver spice container showcases masterful filigree work in a design that is both delicate and ornate. The piece stands on an open circular base, providing a graceful foundation for the slender, knopped wirework stem that rises with elegant proportion. The spherical container itself is adorned with intricate scrolled foliate forms rendered in fine silver filigree. These graceful, organic patterns intertwine across the surface, creating a sense of lightness and movement. Atop the sphere, a charming ball and flag finial crowns the piece, adding a playful yet regal touch. Both functional and ornamental, this spice container reflects the refined aesthetic and technical sophistication of Austrian silversmiths during the late 19th century. Marked with the initials of the maker at the top of the base. .68ozt
