Presents punch with Minerva's head.
Measurements: 12 x 10 x 8 cm.
Weight: 350 g.
Grinder pepperpot entirely made in silver. The piece is supported on three legs with hoof-shaped feet. These give way to a cylindrical body with reticulated design and ornamental elements in the form of a garland from which hang medallions with engraved initials. The upper zone is where the monillo is located, ornamented with round sculptures in the form of small angels that support the windmill's blade. It is worth noting the functionality of the piece that is blurred by the Louis XVI aesthetics of the ornamentation.
