VINAIGRETTES
A vinaigrette is usually a small box with a hinged lid that opens to reveal a pierced grill which is also hinged, underneath the grill would be a small sponge soaked in an oily sweet smelling substance. Vinaigrettes were used both by men and women and generally carried whilst travelling, to give a pleasent aroma as the streets or travelling companions could often smell. Inside all the surfaces would be gilded to protect the silver from staining.
