A charming Victorian porcelain pepper box, c.1850s, naturalistically modelled as a green pepper with layered verdant glazes that pick out the ribbing and form. Compact and characterful, it sits beautifully on a dresser, within a cabinet of curiosities, or as a small spice/trinket box in a vintage-inspired kitchen.Details
