ABOUT PRODUCTID 36452
This miniature spice grinder, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, is a refined example of tableware where the art of hand-cut crystal glass meets the precision of mechanical craftsmanship. The body, crafted from clear crystal, is adorned with vertical faceting that lends it a prismatic texture and enhances the play of light. Structural elements—including the base, crank handle, and domed lid—are made from silvered brass with a matte to semi-gloss finish, showing a subtle patina that highlights the antique character of the piece. The grinder’s form is cylindrical, with a gently stepped base and a slender, angular crank ending in a round brass knob. Visible metal screws and the central grinding shaft evoke the transitional style between late Victorian and early Edwardian design, where geometric simplicity is paired with understated functional ornament. The piece is preserved in very good condition—all original parts, mechanism intact and fully operational, with no visible damage or signs of restoration.Within this compact form lies the spirit of table rituals from over a century ago: the subtle gleam of crystal and the warmth of aged brass conjure the ambiance of elegant parlors and long, convivial dinners. The grinder seems to echo the era when each table detail mattered—a glass body that catches the light and a hand crank ready for daily use, even a hundred years after its creation. Its presence brings forth memories
