Inside, the grille is embellished with hand chased and pierced flower design. Deep chamber for the once soaked sponge. Marked on the bottom. All marks are clear except the second letter of the maker's mark is partially erased. The grille's hinge is not soldered down on one side(see picture 9,11).

Despite those conditions, the box can close properly and miraculously without any dents on the exterior.<br>This vinaigrette came from a large collection of antique vinaigrettes and nutmeg graters I found in a local estate sale.
