COCONUT DIPPER (above)
*Historically inspired* Coconuts were imported to Europe and America in great quantities, especially in the 18th century. After the meat was used, the shell would be made into many useful items. We were quite surprised to find in our research just how common were objects made of coconut shells! Coconuts were often used by silversmiths. The deep color of the coconut was the perfect compliment to silver. Coconuts are surprisingly durable. We had the pleasure of holding an 18th century original coconut dipper that had been used at a well. It was in perfect condition! Ours is based on that dipper, with decorative heart shaped handle attachment in copper, and a lovely hand turned handle. Dated: 17th & 18th century. Origin: English. Materials: coconut, copper, various woods.
COCONUT DIPPER $75.00

POCKET SPICE BOX (above)
Handmade by Peter Goebel. Historic reproduction. A neat little box to keep a pinch of this or that in when traveling! In the 18th century, you were never certain of the quality of tavern fare. A little cayenne, or nutmeg, could improve the flavor of almost anything! This little brass box opens at both ends, giving you two seperate comparts to store your favorite spices! The compartments swivel out on a pivot. This would make a nice gift, as it is perfect for engraving. Dated: 1745. Origin: English. Materials: brass. Dimensions: 3 1/4" long.
POCKET SPICE BOX $70.00
