The Vinaigrette is finely modelled as a book with reeded spine and the cover and base are decorated with different bands of diagonal engine turning. The cover also displays a central rectangular cartouche engraved with a set of contemporary script initials. The cover opens up to reveal fine interior gilding and a grille pierced and engraved with pluming scrolls, around a bright cut frame. The Vinaigrette is in excellent condition and is very well marked in the base and on the underside of the cover and the grille.
