About the Item
An exceptional, fine and impressive antique George V English sterling silver spice tower; an addition to our silver Judaica collection.
This exceptional antique George V sterling silver spice box has been modelled in the form of a tower.
The rounded waisted shaped silver box is ornamented with impressive embossed floral designs accented with pin struck scalloped borders.
This impressive vessel is fitted with a hallmarked hinged door accented with a plain fingerpiece and incorporated latch.
The upper portion of this impressive 20th century silver spice tower* is embellished with four cast gargoyle figurines encompassing a tapering chute.
The tower's chute terminates with a large plain ball style knop to a hallmarked undulating guidon shaped flag.
The spice compartment supports four sterling silver bells and surmounts a knopped pedestal foot encircled with a ribbed decorated border.
This antique silver spice tower was crafted by the Judaic silversmith Jacob Rozenzweig of Rosenzweig, Taitelbaum & Co.
Such original English hallmarked examples are becoming increasingly difficult to locate.
* A spice box is used to hold sweet-smelling herbs/spices and can be fashioned in many forms. As of the 16th century a very common form is that of a tower, influenced by developments in architecture. The spice tower is used to bring comfort to a Jew as they transition through Sabbath to their new week, receiving their extra soul known as a 'neshama yetera'
