Pilgrim bottle (one of a pair) 1823/24 William Elliott These bottles (see mate ) are early nineteenth century copies of a pair of Baroque vessels made in 1690. Though the form is derived from seventeenth-century wine bottles, these examples were only intended to be used as part of a grand display in the dining room. In the early nineteenth century, the appreciation of antique silver was novel, and these are early examples of the antiquarian Pilgrim bottle (one of a pair). British, London. 1823/24. Gilt silver, cork. Metalwork-Silver
