Antique Pickle Castor with Elephant Detail (Boston, 19th Century)
Pristine antique pickle castor manufactured by James W. Tufts of Boston in the late 1800’s. Triple plated silver. There are three distinct pieces to this set: stand, faceted bowl with lid & tongs. The elephant detail on the “legs” is quite rare. Plenty of patina, but could be polished up easily, if desired. We promise you’ll be the only one with a pickle castor at that next holiday gathering- so unique (we also love this as a vessel for sugar cubes).
Dimensions [stand is 8” high; bowl is 3.5” deep; tongs are 6.5” long]
