In the 18th century, the use of pesticide was very common to protect against various infectious diseases. This pungent "scent" of vinegar and various herbs required a well-closing container, which was opened when needed, called vinaigrettes (vinaigre, French for vinegar) .Vinaigrettes in small and very small silver or gold boxes were the most popular in the 19th century If you open the lid, an ornamental lid in the finest breakthrough comes to light, which shoots the chamber with the vinegar sponge.The silver had to be gilded inside, otherwise the vinegar would have attacked the metal.
Wonderful Riechdose from the early Biedermeier around 1800, decorated with a gouge design. In the middle a medallion with the inscription: J'y pense (I think). Fire gilt inside, the slider with a cisilierten flower decoration in the finest breakthrough work.
Marked with 13 (Lot) and unknown maker's mark CD. Probably Germany.
