Swiss Solid Silver Spice Salt Pepper Caster w Figures Marked Rehfues & Co. Presented is an impressive German solid silver spice casters with figural finial on top of lid or covers in the shape of a squirrel and a Rooster. These pieces are marked for silver made by Rehfues & Co. They are finely crafted and useful pieces with a gold wash interior and mounting caps or sifters with a gold wash inside the slip on lids as well. They differ from each other in slight ways from the gadroon around the apron, a slight beading around the lid of one and a slightly higher base ring around the base of the squirrel caster.

They are in beautiful condition with a high finish, only a slight ding in both and a slight lean in one with a slight wobble in the rooster topped caster. They both have only very light scratches from gentle use and care and have no monogram. This is a lovely set for gift or accommodation to almost any service or setting for Salt & Pepper or your favorite spices. It is an unusual and fantastic set for the silver collector.
