An elegant boxed set of four silver-plated condiment shakers by Eales 1779, each beautifully crafted with cobalt blue glass liners enclosed within finely pierced silver-plated sleeves of neoclassical inspiration. The decorative openwork lattice and vertical reeded motif create a striking contrast against the vivid cobalt glass, resulting in a refined presentation suitable for both traditional and contemporary table settings. Each shaker is fitted with a domed, pierced screw-top lid allowing for the dispensing of salt, pepper, or other fine seasonings. The rich cobalt glass liners lend both visual depth and practicality, while the silver-plated mounts provide durability and timeless appeal. Founded in Sheffield, England, Eales traces its heritage to 1779 and is recognized for producing finely crafted silver-plated tableware inspired by historic English silversmithing traditions. Their pieces are appreciated for combining classic design with quality craftsmanship, making them popular additions to both formal dining collections and decorative interiors. Presented in the original fitted Eales 1779 presentation case, this handsome set offers exceptional display value and makes an excellent addition to a silver collection, elegant dining service, or thoughtful gift for the discerning collector.

  • Provenance: Private Collection. Retaining the original fitted Eales 1779 presentation case.
  • Literature: Comparable examples are illustrated in Eales 1779 silver-plated tableware catalogs and are representative of the firm's revival of classic English dining accessories inspired by Georgian and Edwardian silver designs.
  • Circa: Late 20th Century, circa 1980s–1990s.
  • Condition: Very good vintage condition. The silver plate retains a bright finish with light surface scratches, minor wear, and scattered tarnish consistent with age and careful use. The cobalt blue glass liners appear free of significant chips or cracks upon visual inspection. The presentation box shows light shelf wear, minor staining to the interior silk, and expected age-related wear while remaining structurally sound.
