An American Sterling Nutmeg Grater
Tiffany and Company
1902-1907
We see very many English Antique vinaigrettes and nutmeg graters but not that many American nutmeg graters. Kirk was a serious manufacturer of these boxes and every now and then we see a Tiffany nutmeg grater. Nutmeg was a prized spice sought after and used frequently by individuals. This is a Tiffany melon shaped nutmeg grater, an unusual form and it is very well constructed with a quality hinge and considerable thickness. The inserted grate was usually made of steel.
The mark includes a C mark which helps us date the item to 1902-1907.
