Sterling silver and blown glass, made by one of America's finest silversmiths.
Frank M. Whiting & Co. operated in North Attleboro, Massachusetts from 1878 until becoming a division of Ellmore Silver Company in 1940 — and their hollowware was among the most accomplished of the American silver tradition. This grated cheese dispenser pairs delicately etched blown glass with a sterling silver base and screw-top, topped with a pointed finial and fitted with 12 generously sized holes. Pristine condition: no chips, scratches, or dents on glass or silver. The kind of piece that makes Parmesan an occasion.
A distinguished gift for a collector of American antique silver, a connoisseur of fine tableware, or simply someone who believes the everyday table deserves exceptional things.
